分子運動による磁気相互作用の増幅

抄録

Contrary to the conventional understanding that molecular motion disturbs the magnetic order that depends on intermolecular interactions, some liquid crystalline compounds show an increase in magnetic susceptibility upon melting. In this presentation, we propose a model to explain this phenomenon. A molecule in liquid crystal phases can transfer the effects of the magnetic interactions with another molecule to other molecules. The coordination number of each molecule is virtually amplified hundredfold. This huge coordination number can amplify not only the magnetic properties but also various physical properties.
