Determination of the flexoelectric coefficient (e1–e3) in nematic liquid crystal by using fully leaky optical-guided mode

Fully leaky optical-guided mode was employed to determine the difference in the splay and bend flexoelectric coefficient (e1–e3) in negative nematic liquid crystal MS-N01300-000. The experimental curves of reflectivity versus internal angle (angle of incident light to the liquid crystal) were obtain...
