Weak anchoring effects in nematic liquid crystals

G McKay, KJ Kidney, IW Stewart - Molecular Crystals and Liquid …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
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 …

Shearing Flows in Liquid Crystal Models
