In this work is studying temperature influence and surface anchoring in orientation behaviour of oscillatory Poiseuille flow of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) in the plane cell. Without external influence molecules lays along flow plane. Molecules orientation change and caused by this back-flow is studied by low-amplitude decomposition.

Spatially Varying

Spatially-varying director fields have become an important part of research and development in liquid crystals. Characterization of the anchoring strength associated with a spatially-varying director is difficult, since the methods developed for a uniform alignment are seldom applicable. Here we characterize the strength of azimuthal surface anchoring produced by the photoalignment technique based on plasmonic metamsaks. The measurements used photopatterned arrays of topological point defects of strength +1 and −1 in thin layers of a nematic liquid crystal. The integer-strength defects split into pairs of half-integer defects with lower elastic energy. The separation distance between the split pair is limited by the azimuthal surface anchoring, which allows one to determine the strength of the latter. The strength of the azimuthal anchoring is proportional to the UV exposure time during the photoalignment of the azobenzene layer.
