Abstract
Liquid crystals (LC's) and liquid-crystalline polymers have gained scientific and technical importance due to their applications as display materials and their prospective use for optical information storage and non-linear optics [1-10]. Among other aspects, the study of segmental mobility as a function of an external (electric or electromagnetic) perturbation is of basic interest for the understanding of the dynamics of such molecular processes in liquid-crystalline materials.Keywords
