Abstract

Abstract Creagh and Kmetz have assumed that the relative values of the nematic to the substrate surface tension permit an estimation of nematic orientation on that substrate. This much discussed assumption is studied in detail in this paper; a new rule will be proposed and a test for the sign of the surface energy anisotropy is applied.
