New features in the structural relaxation of a nematic liquid crystal doped with luminescent impurity molecules
Aver'yanov E. M. , Gunyakov V. A.
A new approach is proposed for interpreting the polarized fluorescence spectra of an impure liquid crystal in which the orientational order of excited impurity molecules has undergone relaxation. This approach has also been realized experimentally. The new experimental data demonstrate a new relaxation process with a time scale on the order of 10~n-10~9 s.
