Comment on the Determination of the Polar Anchoring Energy by Capacitance Measurements in Nematic Liquid Crystals

Capacitance measurements have been extensively used to measure the anchoring extrapolation length <i>L</i> at a nematic–substrate interface. These measurements are extremely delicate because the value found for <i>L</i> often critically depends on the sample thickness and the...
