Anomalous behavior of electric-field Fréedericksz transitions
Eugene C. Gartland
Fréedericksz transitions in nematic liquid crystals are re-examined with a focus on differences between systems with magnetic fields and those with electric fields. A magnetic fiel…
A model liquid crystal cell in an RC circuit
Eugene C. Gartland
A nematic liquid-crystal cell subject to an electric field created by electrodes held at constant potential is modeled as a variable capacitor in an RC circuit. The state of the sy…
Electric-Field-Induced Instabilities in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Eugene C. Gartland
Systems involving nematic liquid crystals subjected to magnetic fields or electric fields are modeled using the Oseen-Frank macroscopic continuum theory, and general criteria are d…
Forces and Variational Compatibility for Equilibrium Liquid Crystal Director Models with Coupled Electric Fields
Eugene C. Gartland
Expressions are obtained for force and couple densities and stress tensors in macroscopic models for nematic liquid crystals subjected to electric fields. The coupling between the…
Scalings and Limits of Landau-deGennes Models for Liquid Crystals: A Comment on Some Recent Analytical Papers
Eugene C. Gartland
Some recent analytical papers have explored limiting behaviors of Landau-deGennes models for liquid crystals in certain extreme ranges of the model parameters: limits of "vanishing…
