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 …

Magnetic field-induced spatially periodic deformations of planar nematic layers twisted by an
angle Φ were investigated numerically. Chiral nematics with pitches compatible with the …

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 …

There has been, in recent years, a great interest in twisted orientation patterns in static
samples of nematic liquid crystals (NLC). Here we investigate the behaviour of such …

We consider a twisted nematic liquid crystal confined by two parallel boundary plates. The
nematic is subject to an in-plane magnetic field applied in a direction parallel to the plates …

We consider an incompressible nematic liquid crystal that exhibits an equilibrium twist
profile across the cell due to in-plane but opposing anchoring directions at the plates. We …

The existence of a critical state in a lyotropic liquid crystal has been recently predicted,
induced by a magnetic field and corresponding to a uniform orientation parallel to the …

The surface properties of planarly oriented lyotropic nematic liquid crystals are theoretically
described by means of a model based on the dry-friction like interaction among the nematic …

The dynamics of the field-induced one-dimensional twist deformation in weakly anchored
nematic layers was investigated by means of numerical simulation. The rise time constants …

We analyze the spatially inhomogeneous dynamic behaviour of twisted NLC layer in a
magnetic field. When a magnetic field H is applied in the layer plane at a suitable angle …
