Abstract
Temperature induced surface transitions in liquid crystal tilted homog eneous cells are experimentally studied. The results are theoretically explained by an elastic theory of surface transitions and the resulti ng values for the effective splay-bend elastic constant (k) over bar(1 3) for each liquid crystal material are compared with the results from experience with other types of surface anchoring.
