Anchoring Energy Measurements: a Practical Approach

Newton, Christopher J.P.; Iovane, M.; Duhem, O.; Barberi, R.; Lombardo, G.; Spiller, T.P.

HPL-2000-113

Keyword(s): liquid crystals; surface anchoring; computer modelling

Abstract: We describe a simple method for determining anchoring energies from the measured optical response of liquid crystal cells. The method is quick and easy to use and can therefore be used to check a range of possible treatments, or for process control in an industrial environment. Notes: M.Iovane and R.
