Effect of pressure on the photoinduced nematic-isotropic phase transition.
We report the results of high-pressure studies on the photoinduced nematic-isotropic phase transition. It is observed that pressure has a significant influence on the shift in the transition temperature caused by uv radiation. We propose a possible mechanism to explain the observed results.
