Modeling Reorientation Dynamics of Electrically Assisted Light-Induced Gliding of Nematic Liquid-Crystal Easy Axis

Figure 5

Easy axis angle as a function of the irradiation time measured for the reorienting LPUV light with different values of the polarization azimuth ; (a) deg ( ) and (b) deg ( ). Solid (open) squares represent the data measured in the regions within (outside) the interelectrode gaps where ( ). The results computed from the phenomenological model by solving (1a) and (1b) are shown as solid lines.
