Liquid Crystals - Electrically Induced Alterations in Texture during Nematic Phases

Audiovisuelles Material

Transition at three threshold voltages (transition field strengths) to a) a band-like domain pattern of high symmetry (Williams-domains), b) a still regular domain structure of lower symmetry (decomposition of the bands), and c) a completely turbulent state (dynamic scattering regime). Interaction between disclination lines (defects in molecular orientation) after switching off the electric field.
