Composites consisting of nematic liquid crystal (5-CB) and gold nanorods have been elaborated and investigated with a polarizing microscope. It was detected that the nanorods form inside the oriented liquid crystal matrix their own self-assembling well-ordered structures. Nanorods ordered structu...
