PC02 Liquid Crystal Alignment on Thin Dye Films Orientated by DC Magnetic Field

Abstract

It is a very effective method for orientating various materials to apply the strong magnetic field. Orientated organic materials have several interesting functionality. In a very strong DC magnetic field of 10 teslas, several organic thin films were formed by the solvent evaporation of the solution of low-molecular materials such as DDDS, Alizarin, p-Terphenyl. The following were examined : Property of thin films got with various fabrication conditions and liquid crystal molecular orientation characteristic on these films.
