abstract = {Motivated by the development of cellulose-based functional
materials, we investigate the microscopic dynamics of
suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) at different
ionic strengths, both in the absence and presence of AC
electric fields, and for various temperatures. A
concentration of $5wt\%$ of the CNCs is chosen, for which
the dispersions are in the full chiral-nematic state at low
ionic strengths. Dynamic light scattering is used to
characterize the wavevector-dependent decay rates of
number-density fluctuations. Contrary to an isotropic
suspension, the dispersion relations (the wavevector
dependence of the correlation-function decay rates) as
obtained by means of depolarized light scattering are found
to exhibit anomalous behaviour. The dispersion relations,
both without and with an external field, exhibit minima at
small wavevectors, which is attributed to coupling of
translational motion to the orientation of the CNCs, shown
in the chiral-nematic state. The location of the minima is
found to weakly depend on ionic strength, and shifts
significantly towards larger wavevectors upon applying an
external electric field for sufficiently high ionic
strengths. Finally, preliminary results are presented for
smaller length-scale density fluctuations (at larger
wavevectors) as a function of temperature, revealing the
anisotropic mobilities in the chiral-nematic state of CNCs.},
