Electrooptic Effects in Liquid Crystal Materials

Part of the book series: Partially Ordered Systems ((PARTIAL.ORDERED))

Abstract

The interaction of liquid crystals with neighbor phases (gas, liquid, solid) is a very interesting problem relevant to their electrooptical behavior. The structure of liquid crystalline phases in close proximity to an interface is different from that in the bulk, and this “surface structure” changes boundary conditions and influences the behavior of a liquid crystal in bulky samples. The nematic phase is especially sensitive to external agents, in particular, to surface forces, and the majority of papers devoted to the surface properties of mesophases have been carried out on nematics. In addition, the nematic phase is of great importance from the point of view of applications in electrooptical devices. Thus, in this chapter, we will concentrate on surface properties of nematics, though the properties of the other phases will not be skipped either.
