Motion, creation and annihilation of disclinations in multi-domain structured nematic liquid crystal cells
M. Reichenstein, H. Stark, J. Stelzer +1
We study dynamical processes in a multi-domain (MD) structured nematic liquid crystal cell with a particular emphasis on the motion, creation and annihilation of disclinations. In…
Director configurations of a nematic liquid crystal confined in a toroidal geometry. A finite element study
Joachim Stelzer, Ralf Bernhard
Various director configurations of a nematic liquid crystal, confined in a toroidal volume and subject to an external magnetic field, were evaluated numerically by performing finit…
Numerical study of surface-induced reorientation and smectic layering in a nematic liquid crystal
Joachim Stelzer, Ralf Bernhard
Surface-induced profiles of both nematic and smectic order parameters in a nematic liquid crystal, ranging from an orienting substrate to "infinity", were evaluated numerically on…
Water Droplets in a Spherically Confined Nematic Solvent: A Numerical Investigation
Holger Stark, Joachim Stelzer, Ralf Bernhard
Recently, it was observed that water droplets suspended in a nematic liquid crystal form linear chains (Poulin et al., Science 275, 1770 (1997)). The chaining occurs, e.g., in a la…
Director configuration of planar solitons in nematic liquid crystals
Henryk Arodz, Joachim Stelzer
The director configuration of disclination lines in nematic liquid crystals in the presence of an external magnetic field is evaluated. Our method is a combination of a polynomial…
Dynamics of cylindrical domain walls in nematic liquid crystals
Joachim Stelzer, Henryk Arodz
Analytical calculations of the dynamics of a curved domain wall in a nematic liquid crystal are performed. The core of the wall is assumed to form a cylinder, whose axis coincides…
