Modeling Reorientation Dynamics of Electrically Assisted Light-Induced Gliding of Nematic Liquid-Crystal Easy Axis
Figure 3
Geometry of the experiment: (a) initial state with ; (b) switching on an in-plane electric field, , combined with LPUV irradiation; (c) the system of reference: the polarization vector of the LPUV light wave propagating along the normal to the substrate (the -axis) is characterized by the polarization azimuth .
