P‐184: Predicting the Optical Asymmetry of Cholesteric Liquid Crystals Templated Gold Nanorods Helical Assemblies

The incorporation of nanomaterials into liquid crystal (LC) hosts presents a distinctive opportunity to examine the self‐assembly of nanomaterials and to augment the functional capabilities of the LC host. The incorporation of gold nanomaterials in liquid crystal (LC) hosts is currently the subject of significant attention in the scientific community, and has a variety of applications, including optical information entropy, signal modulation, chiral molecule recognition and so forth. In this research, a theoretical approach is proposed for the prediction of the optical asymmetry of gold nanorods (Au‐NRs) helical assemblies in a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) host based on their extinction performance. The findings of this research will provide a simplified and accessible means for researchers in various fields to relate to the optical asymmetry of Au‐NRs helical assemblies.
