abstract = {The vibrational density of states of a series of homologous
triphenylene-based discotic liquid crystals HATn (n = 5, 6,
8, 10, 12) depending on the length of the aliphatic side
chain is investigated by means of inelastic neutron
scattering. All studied materials have a plastic crystalline
phase at low temperatures, followed by a hexagonally ordered
liquid crystalline phase at higher temperatures and a quasi
isotropic phase at the highest temperatures. The X-ray
scattering pattern for the plastic crystalline phase of all
materials shows a sharp Bragg reflection corresponding to
the intercolumnar distance in the lower q-range and a peak
at circa 17 nm−1 related to intracolumnar distances
between the cores perpendicular to the columns as well as a
broad amorphous halo related to the disordered structure of
the methylene groups in the side chains in the higher
q-range. The intercolumnar distance increases linearly with
increasing chain length for the hexagonal columnar ordered
liquid crystalline phase. A similar behaviour is assumed for
the plastic crystalline phase. Besides n = 8 all materials
under study exhibit a Boson peak. With increasing chain
length, the frequency of the Boson peak decreases and its
intensity increases. This can be explained by a
self-organized confinement model. The peaks for n = 10, 12
are much narrower than for n = 5, 6 which might imply the
transformation from a rigid system to a softer one with
increasing chain length. Moreover the results can also be
discussed in the framework of a transition from an
uncorrelated to a correlated disorder with increasing n
where n = 8 might be speculatively considered as a
transitional state.},
