ネマティック液晶の光誘起配向変化とフレデリックス転移

抄録

We formulated previously a phenomenological theory of light-induced reorientation of nematic liquid crystals driven by the trans↔cis photoisomerization of photochromic molecules dispersed in liquid crystal media. Extending this theory, we discuss here the influence of light-induced reorientation in the Freedericksz transition.
