Elasticity and dynamics of uniaxial nematic liquid crystal with defects: Nemator model
We present a model of static and dynamic properties of uniaxial nematic liquid crystals that brings together the advantages of the Oseen-Frank (OF), Landau–de Gennes (LdG), and Ericksen-Leslie (EL) models. The model is based on the introduced vector N=sqrt[s]n[over ̂], called nemator, which defines...
