We explored how to increase liquid crystal sensitivity to external magnetic fields. Suspensions consisting of a mixture of liquid crystal and spindle type mono-dispersed hematite nano-particles at concentrations lower than 1 wt% were prepared. The Freacuteedericksz transition threshold for the suspensions appeared to be lower than for the pure liquid crystal. It was proved that adding canted...
