Theory of liquid crystal orientation under action of light wave field and aligning surfaces
Abstract
Theoretical models developed in the MRSU group under leadership of Professor Artem Dadivanyan in area of the LC orientation and photo-induced effects are presented. Angular distribution functions of the dye and liquid crystal molecules under action of intensive light beam have been derived. The number of molecules in cluster is estimated. A model of dimers formation in the photoalignment dye is suggested that explains influence of the dye molecular structure on both polar and azimuthal anchoring energy.
