According to the previous experimental results, the band emittance of two materials were computed for 8-14 mm bandwidth in infrared measuring. The band emittance of several materials was surveyed by a simple experiment. The experiment and reckoning show that there is some kind of functional relation between band emittance and temperature.

The geometric structures, molecular orbitals (MOs), electronic spectra and the infrared (IR) spectra of the three doubly hydrogen-bonded complexes formed by esculetin and aprotic solvents dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), tetrahyrofuran (THF) and acetonitrile (ACN) in both ground state S(0) and the first singlet excited state S(1) were calculated by the combined DFT and TD-DFT methods with the COSMO solvation model. Two intermolecular hydrogen bonds can be formed between esculetin and the aprotic solvent in each hydrogen-bonded complex.

Results show that when a fluorine atom is substituted along the molecular long axis, an LC molecule acquires high rotational speed and its rotation becomes stable, thereby resulting in a better thermal stability of the nematic phase. A novel explanation is proposed for the behavior of the nematic-isotropic phase of the LC system when a heavy atom is substituted along the molecular long axis.
