Memory effects in nematics with quenched disorder.
We present a combined experimental and Monte Carlo study of a nematic phase in the presence of quenched disorder. The turbidity of a nematic liquid crystal embedded in a porous polymer membrane is measured under different applied field conditions for field-cooled and zero-field-cooled samples. We find that a significant permanent alignment of the nematic can be induced by fields as low as 0.1 V...
متن کاملMagnetic and Electric Field Induced Periodic Deformations in Nematics
This work reports theoretical studies on the occurrence oi a static periodic distortion (PD in a nematic sample under the action of crossed electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields applied on a uniformly aligned initial director configuration (no) Linear stability analysis with rigid anchoring hypothesis is employed For homeotropic alignment of a nematic such as &f1 which has negative dielectric an...

The lJnearized version of nonstochastic cont~nuum theory is used wJth the ngid anchonng hypothesis to study the occurrence of transient penodic dissipative structures (DS) induced m a nematic sample by a magnetic field H of supercritical strength applied m a
متن کاملFreedericksz transition of nematics in an oblique magnetic field
2014 A planar nematic layer will show a Freedericksz transition in a magnetic field perpendicular to the unperturbed alignment. This transition occurs at H = Hc1 (splay) in a perpendicular field and at H = Hc2 (twist) in a field parallel to the layer. If the magnetic field is applied at an oblique angle with respect to the layer, but perpendicular to the direction of alignment, the threshold fi...
