Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The director distribution in nematic liquid crystal confined between two glass plates, with a weak and strong anchoring condition has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The quadrupolar splitting decreases with increasing electric field, through zero and then increases again to a value which is essentially half of that in zero electric field. It would seem that the director orientation changes more or less continuously from being parallel to the magnetic field to being orthogonal to it, as the electric field grows. The deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance spectra predicted by a continuum theory approach involving the magnetic, electric, elastic, and unified surface anchoring energies are found to be in good agreement with experiment.
