Jak cytować
Abstrakt
Symulowano numerycznie efekt fleksoelektro-optyczny w warstwach nematyków chiralnych. Obliczenia dotyczyły materiałów o krótkim skoku, z osią helisy równoległą do płaszczyzny warstwy. Symulowano odkształcenia związane z dużymi kątami obrotu osi optycznej warstwy wokół normalnej do warstwy, które pozwalają uniknąć gromadzenia się jonów na elektrodach i kontrolować efekt elektrooptyczny napięciem prostokątnym. Zbadano wpływ wybranych parametrów na skuteczność tego efektu.
