      abstract     = {Nanoparticles in combination with liquid crystals
                      facilitate the design of nanocomposite materials with unique
                      photoelectric or nonlinear optical characteristics. This
                      makes such materials multifunctional and adjustable for a
                      wide range of applications, including sensors to optical
                      devices.A promising matrix for the development of
                      nanocomposite materials is the thermotropic ionic smectic A
                      Cd+2(C7H15COO-)2 (CdC8) liquid crystal (LC). This LC can
                      perform nanoreactor functions for synthesizing different
                      types of nanoparticles: semiconductor, metal, metal alloys
                      and hybrid nanoparticles (core/shell). The shape and size of
                      nanoparticles in our synthesized composite materials are
                      measured using scanning electron microscopy and transmission
                      electron microscopy. These methods allow us to obtain
                      high-resolution images and precisely study the distribution
                      and characteristic sizes of the nanoparticles in the CdC8
                      matrix. The samples are measured using impedance
                      spectroscopy in a wide range of frequencies and
                      temperatures. The dielectric properties of composite
                      materials based on CdC8 matrix with semiconductor and
                      metallic nanoparticles are analyzed using 2 visualizing
                      methods (Nyquist and Bode plots). This allows us to analyze
                      separately the different components and processes that occur
                      in the system: polarization effects, electrode contact
                      resistances, liquid crystal volumes and others to evaluate
                      their contributions to the general behavior of the material.
                      Using impedance spectroscopy method, we evaluated the
                      material characteristics including ion mobility and rates of
                      relaxation processes. The results provide a fundamental
                      understanding of the behavior of nanocomposite materials and
                      have a great potential for the development of sensors and
                      optical devices.D. Zhulai greatly appreciates a research
