We report a systematic study of charge transport in a range of low-molar-mass and extended (having at least six aromatic rings) nematic liquid crystals, some of which are reactive mesogens, with a high degree of shape anisotropy, i.e., the length-to-width (aspect) ratio is exceptionally high. We dem...
