Undulation instabilities in cholesteric liquid crystals induced by anchoring transitions
Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) have a characteristic length scale given by the pitch of the twisted stacking of their constituent rodlike molecules. Under homeotropic anchoring conditions where the molecules prefer to orient perpendicular to an interface, cholesteric interfaces exhibit striped p...
