The effect of a nanometer confinement on the vibrational
and molecular dynamics of a liquid crystals E7 was studied by dielectric
spectroscopy (DS) and neutron scattering (NS). E7 undergoes a
glass transition phenomenon besides the nematic to isotropic phase
transition. As confining host a molecular sieve of the MCM-41 type
is used having cylindrical pores with a radius of 1.25 nm. The results
obtained by both methods are compared in detail.
