Electro-optical nonlinearity and Kerr effect engineering in SnO2-doped nematic liquid crystal for advanced photonic applications
), determined from the inverse Kerr constant behavior, displayed a non-monotonic variation with nanoparticle concentration, consistent with phenomenological expectations for fluctuation-mediated electro-optical effects. The results demonstrate that nanoparticle incorporation provides a practical route for adjusting nonlinear electro-optical behavior in nematic liquid crystal systems.
