A simple model for pretilted nematic liquid crystal medium and its torsional surface coupling strength

An explanation for the mechanism generating a pretilted nematic liquid crystal conformation aligned on rubbed alkylbranched-polyimide layers is given based on a steric interaction model. An analytical calculation using this model was shown to agree fairly well with the data of torsional coupling str...

Zusammenfassung:	An explanation for the mechanism generating a pretilted nematic liquid crystal conformation aligned on rubbed alkylbranched-polyimide layers is given based on a steric interaction model. An analytical calculation using this model was shown to agree fairly well with the data of torsional coupling strength obtained in this work.
