Similarity and Dissimilarity between Influences of Anchoring Walls and of External Fields on Nematic and Smectic A Phases
M. Torikai, M. Yamashita
The McMillan liquid crystalline models under the influence of homeotropic anchoring walls and of external fields are investigated. For thin systems, the existence of the critical t…

Isotropic, Nematic and Smectic A Phase Behaviour in a Fictitious Field
Masashi Torikai, Mamoru Yamashita
Phase behaviours of liquid crystals under external fields, conjugate to the nematic order and smectic order, are studied within the framework of mean field approximation developed…
