The twist deformation induced by a magnetic field H in a lyotropic liquid crystal is analyzed.
Our results show the existence of three regimes for the surface deformation related to two …

The response of a slab of nematic liquid crystal to the Van der Waals forces exerted upon it
by an anisotropic crystal is studied. The slab of liquid crystal is considered as having its …

We investigate the dynamical behavior of the director in the surface layer of lyotropic
nematic liquid crystals in an external magnetic field. The characteristic time of the orientation …

The abrupt change of the director orientation in nematic liquid crystals, for certain critical
values of the cell thickness is described, and explained in terms of a change in surface …

This paper discusses static orientation patterns in nematic liquid crystals in the presence of
magnetic fields. Some solutions of the equations of a continuum theory are presented, and …

The following is theoretically shown:(1) The Freedericksz transition for nematic liquid
crystals (NLC) can be defined in a clear-cut way for cases where NLC is initially aligned …

Associates an anisotropic surface energy with a nematic liquid crystal-isotropic fluid
interface. Employing continuum theory, two sets of simple experimental situations are …

We analyze the influence of the surface viscosity on the relaxation of the nematic
deformation induced by an external field on a nematic cell, when the distorting field is …
