    Surface-induced textures in lyotropic liquid crystalline mesophases
    Nesrullajev, A; Tepe, M; Kazanci, N; Çakmak, HM; Abukay, D
    In the present work the investigation of the effect of YBa2Cu3O7-x complex compounds thin films on the mesomorphic, morphologic and orientational properties of lyotropic nematics have been carried out. The thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-x lead to an increase in number of morphologies of investigated nematics and promote the obtaining of tilted oriented and homeotropic textures of these nematics. The coating of YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films by inverted cylindrical DC magnetron sputtering system has been shown in this work to be a useful method for obtaining oriented textures of lyotropic nematics.
