The liquid crystals anchoring theory is considered on the molecular level. Earlier calculations of mesogenic molecules interaction energy with graphite and PE surface give results being one-two orders higher than experimentally obtained values. To explain the experimental values of anchoring energy we proposed its dep…

In this paper we study the critical behavior of the fully connected p-color Potts spin glass at the dynamical transition. In the framework of mode coupling theory (MCT), the time autocorrelation function displays a two-step relaxation, with two exponents governing the approach to the plateau and the exit from it. Expl…
