Pattern formation in nonlinear dynamics of nematic liquid crystals above the flexoelectric instability threshold
E. S. Pikina, E. I. Kats, A. R. Muratov +1
For many decades, researchers have been studying various types of electro-hydrodynamic instabilities in liquid crystals. A significant amount of experimental data has been collecte…
Dynamic flexoelectric instabilities in nematic liquid crystals
E. S. Pikina, A. R. Muratov, E. I. Kats +1
Electro-hydrodynamic phenomena in liquid crystals constitute an old but still very active research area. The reason is that these phenomena play the key role in various application…
Nonlinear electro-hydrodynamics of liquid crystals
E. S. Pikina, E. I. Kats, A. R. Muratov +1
We present nonlinear dynamic equations for nematic and smectic liquid crystals in the presence of an alternating electric field and explain their derivation in detail. The loca…
Long-range interactions between membrane inclusions: Electric field induced giant amplification of the pairwise potential
E. S. Pikina, A. R. Muratov, E. I. Kats +1
The aim of this work is to revisit the phenomenological theory of the interaction between membrane inclusions, mediated by the membrane fluctuations. We consider the case where the…
Simple analysis of scattering data with Ornstein-Zernike equation
E. I. Kats, A. R. Muratov
In this paper we propose and explore a method of analysis of the scattering experimental data for uniform liquid-like systems. In our pragmatic approach we are not trying to introd…
Why the smectic A -- hexatic phase transition does not follow its universality class?
E. I. Kats, V. V. Lebedev, A. R. Muratov
We resolve the old riddle related to the critical behavior of the heat capacity near the smectic A -- hexatic second order phase transition. Experiment suggests a "large" positive…
