Photoinduced Interactions in Thin Films of Azo Dyes and Planar-Aligned Nematic Liquid Crystal

Properties of surface anchoring depend on the absorbed exposure energy and various potential interactions associated with liquid crystal and azo dye layers. In this study, we investigate a model of dispersion, steric and photoinduced interactions with the goal of providing a qualitative and quantita...
