The behavior of smectic-A liquid crystals with magnetic particles has not been very well characterized. authors have studied the interaction a crystal nanoparticles. They concentrate on effect particles’ surface coating or functionalization compound. in nanoparticle is used to avoid phase separation and biological applications identify particular cell protein. Thus it important see how interacts conjunction found out that depending nanoparticles varies. This variation related aligns crystal, contributes relative concentration crystal-nanoparticle mixture, affects energy system.
