Organic Radical Fluids: Magnetism and Microfluidics
Dr. Yoshiaki Uchida, Osaka University, Japan
Liquid crystals are promising materials for for data storage devices and for biomedical tools beyond prominent display uses. The emergence of new materials often induces the development of new applications. This talk will present the properties of organic radical fluids as one of such new materials. These compounds exhibit nonuniform intermolecular magnetic interactions in the LC and liquid phases, which have never been reported in the field of purely organic solid-state molecular magnetism at high temperature. The response of paramagnetic LC and liquid droplets to the permanent magnet also depends on the kind of LC phases. Finally, it will be demonstrated that the microcapsules made from the paramagnetic liquid show not only the magnetically transport phenomena but also antioxidative properties.
