Effect of YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films on the textures and orientational properties of liquid crystals

In the present work, the effect of thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-x complex compound on the mesomorphic and orientational properties of thermotropic nematic liquid crystals has been studied. Homogeneous, stable and reproducible homeotropic and lilted oriented textures of nematic liquid crystals were obtained. The effect of YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films on the morphologic, orientational and optical properties of thermotropic nematic liquid crystals are discussed.
