Abstract
Over 100 times amplified image recording was achieved by means of reading out nematic isotropic phase transition of liquid crystal induced by partial trans→cis photoisomerization of a small amount(up to 5 mol%) of 4-butyl-4′-methoxyazobenzene mixed with 4-cyano-4′-n-pentylbiphenyl.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
