| Popis: | Liquid crystalline materials can be used as an active media for the new generation of planar light guides. The main characteristics which governs light-guiding and switching abilities of such devices are the spatial distributions of the refraction indices (defined via the distribution of nematic director) for the liquid crystal confined within a light-guiding pore. We aim to obtain these distributions from the molecular dynamics simulation of the liquid crystalline cell with the homeotropic boundary conditions being applied. We discuss the reorientation kinetics of the homeotropic-planar transition and obtain the equilibrium director profile upon application of the planar reorienting field. |
