The onset of layer undulations in smectic A liquid crystals due to a strong magnetic field
A. Contreras, C. García-Azpeitia, C. J. García-Cervera +1
We investigate the effect of a strong magnetic field on a three dimensional smectic A liquid crystal. We identify a critical field above which the uniform layered state loses stabi…

Sawtooth profile in smectic A liquid crystals
Carlos J. Garcia-Cervera, Tiziana Giorgi, Sookyung Joo
We study the de Gennes free energy for smectic A liquid crystals over -valued vector fields to understand the chevron (zigzag) pattern formed in the presence of an ap…
