Abstract

A method is described for preparing a nanorods assembly. The method comprises providing a mixture comprising at least a liquid crystal and nanorods and depositing said mixture on the surface of at least substrate. The method further comprises aligning said nanorods with their long axis of the nanorods along a preferred direction on said substrate resulting in a nanorods and liquid crystal assembly, said aligning being performed by applying an external alternating current electrical field.
