Lattice orientation of cholesteric blue phases in contact with surfaces enforcing unidirectional planar anchoring
We investigate numerically the lattice orientation of cholesteric blue phases in contact with surfaces enforcing unidirectional planar anchoring. Our study is based on the Landau-de Gennes continuum theory in which the orientational order of the liquid crystal is described by a second-rank tensor. W...
