Polar and apolar light-induced alignment of ferroelectric nematic at photosensitive polymer substrate

Associated image data for the publication Folder “Figure 3” Polarization microscopy images illustrating apolar photoalignment induced by normally incident linearly polarized UV light. The polarizer orientation was fixed, while the analyzer was rotated from –90° to +90° in 5° steps. The folder also includes .csv files with transmitted light intensity values through the liquid crystal cell, measured for two selected regions (Region 1 and Region 2). Folder “Figure 4” Microscopy images of FNLC textures obtained under the application of an in-plane electric field, corresponding to Mode 1 of photoalignment (apolar photoalignment). Folder “Figure 5” Microscopy images of FNLC textures obtained under the application of an in-plane electric field, corresponding to Mode 2 of photoalignment (polar photoalignment).
