Usually, birefringence of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) can be tuned by doping of nanoparticles into it. But what will happen if we dope the same nanoparticle of different sizes? Will birefringence of NLC get reduced as we decrease the size of nanoparticle?
Dear Govind Pathak, I think the shape has more influence on birefringency compared to the size of LCs. Please check the following documents. My Regards

The addition of nanoparticles to liquid crystal opens up additional
the ability to change the characteristics of LCD devices by varying
their size and concentration, as well as the choice of optimal modes
control them using an electric field.
