Azimuthal Anchoring Strength in Photopatterned Alignment of a Nematic

Spatially-varying director fields have become an important part of research and development in liquid crystals. Characterization of the anchoring strength associated with a spatially-varying director is difficult, since the methods developed for a uniform alignment are seldom applicable. Here we cha...
