Phase Diagram and Order Reconstruction Modeling for Nematics in Asymmetric π-Cells
Intense electric fields applied to an asymmetric π-cell containing a nematic liquid crystal subjected to strong mechanical stresses induce distortions that are relaxed through a fast-switching mechanism: the order reconstruction transition. Topologically different nematic textures are connected by s...
