Optical orientation of nematic liquid crystal droplets via photoisomerization of an azodendrimer dopant

Two sequential transformations of the orientational structure in nematic liquid crystal droplets containing a dendrimer additive (nanosized macromolecules with light-absorbing azobenzene terminal moieties) under light irradiation in the UV–blue spectral range were investigated. The origin of these t...
