| Abstract: | Abstract— A numerical approach to the physical behavior of fluorinated liquid crystals has been investigated. The molecular parameters, such as dipole moment and polarizability were calculated using a semiempirical molecular orbital (MO) method. Using these molecular parameters and the Maier-Meier theory, the temperature dependence of the dielectric anisotropy divided by the order parameter (Δ?/S) has been estimated. In addition, taking the temperature dependence of the order parameter S into account, the temperature dependence of the dielectric anisotropy Δ? has been estimated. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental results. |
