 Scientific interests and skills:

His scientific interests cover many problems of physics and application of liquid crystals. He is very communicative and works together with many scientists from the FSU (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus', Liethuania, Azerbaidzhan, Georgia) and overseas countries. His recent developments are connected with investigation of physical properties of nematic, cholesteric, smectic A and smectic C liquid crystals.

V.Belyaev is a skilled experimentalist. He can implement alone or in a team any stage of the experiment from a cell or array design and fabrication (including the manual one) to detailed analysis of results obtained with attraction of to-date theories. Victor Belyaev investigated different physical properties (phase transition temperatures, viscosity and elasticity, dielectric constants, refractive indices, rotational diffusion and molecular friction, local field anisotropy and order parameter, density and molecular packing) of LC substances and mixtures. He developed a set of molecular models to explain and predict change of properties for various substances. His knowledge of electro-optics of LC offered him to work with success in the field of applications of LC in shutters, displays, spatial light modulators. V.Belyaev's skill offered him to observe fine features of different electro-optic effects including back-flow patterns in planar and homeotropic oriented nematic cells, two-dimension textures in nematic and cholesteric LC under the action of electric field, two relaxation modes in smectic A LC etc. Some specific features of the electro-optic effects in LC observed by V.Belyaev in 70-s and 80-s were rediscovered or redescribed later by other scientists. There are pi-cells, electro-optics of twist-cells with 64 or 191 twist angle, double-frequency switching in ECB-cells, fast switching in 270 twist cells. V.Belyaev is an inventor of set of LC materials (ZhK-1289, ZhK-1282 etc.) which are yet very popular in former USSR countries. He has a set of inventions on different LC electro-optic devices. His development of optically addressed spatial light modulators were used for image processing, big screen projection, self-assembly processes studies, medical applications. Now Prof.V.Belyaev is performing projects to develop surfactants for LC vertical and tilted alignment, polymer optical components and substrates for flat panel displays. The last project is supported by Russian and Belorussian Foundations for Basic Researches.

In 1992-1994 he implemented an expert project for Ministry of Science and Technical Policy of Russian Federation "Concept of advanced materials for electronics". V.Belyaev is also a head specialist in CIS countries in the field of modern displays (cathode ray tubes, vaccuum fluorescent displays, field emission displays, electroluminescent displays, plasma display panels, liquid crystal displays, electrochemical displays etc.). He consulted companies from France, Korea, Netherlands, USA, Germany, Taiwan, Russia.

 Family status:

He is married since 1973. He has a daughter and a grandson.
