Abstract
Spherical and cylindrical nematic liquid crystals domains with fixed boundary conditions are investigated. The domain core surface orients the LC vertically, while the surrounding surface has no orienting effect. A new method of the domain’s phase retardation difference determination is described as well as its optical anisotropy and dimensional characteristics. This new method is also applicable for polymer–LC systems.
Keywords: nematic liquid crystal, domains, optical anisotropy, birefringence, polymer–liquid crystal system
