This work was aimed at the photopolarimetric characterization of the transition between two dynamic scattering modes that take place in a planarly aligned nematic liquid crystal sample, under the effect of an external low-frequency electric field. The time evolution of the degree of polarization and the behavior of the radiation entropy of the transmitted light allow us to interpret the transition between two turbulent states, or dynamic scattering modes, as a decay from a two-dimensional (2D) to a (3D) turbulence.

Abstract
This work was aimed at the photopolarimetric characterization of the transition between two dynamic scattering modes that take place in a planarly aligned nematic liquid crystal sample, under the effect of an external low-frequency electric field. The time evolution of the degree of polarization and the behavior of the radiation entropy of the transmitted light allow us to interpret the transition between two turbulent states, or dynamic scattering modes, as a decay from a two-dimensional (2D) to a (3D) turbulence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
