GROWTH OF SINGLE-CRYSTALS NEMATIC FILMS,
Abstract
A study was made of the mechanism of formation of disinclinations (analogs of dislocations in solid crystals) in the course of the growth of liquid single-crystal nematic films of p-azoxyanisole and p-azoxyphenetole. A classification of disinclinations is given and the growth processes is described in detail. It was found that the growth and fusion of a liquid crystal are substantially affected by various defects of the walls which confine the liquid crystal film and extraneous inclusions in the form of solid dust particles.
