Influence of phase junction proximity on surface characteristics of liquid-crystal systems

Abstract

Investigated have been weak-polarity liquid crystals. The work has been aimed at analyzing critical phenomena at the partition boundary. For the first time established has been the correlation of surface and spatial characteristics behaviour. For the first time established has been the correlation of surface and spatial characteristics behaviour. For the first time obtained have been detailed polyterms on a low-energy surface. The Meier-Saupe theorem has been generalized for a non-uniform case. Developped has been a model of ordered boundary layers of liquid crystals. The experimental means created can be used in investigating objects with complicated rheology.
