Electro-optic response of surface-induced nematic order above the nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature

The optical retardation of a liquid crystal above the nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature T(NI) and subjected to planar alignment conditions at the substrate was investigated in the presence of an electric field applied normal to the substrates. The response was found to exhibit "S&q...
