Effect of flexoelectricity and order electricity on defect cores in nematic droplets

Macroscopic polarization, induced in a strongly deformed nematic director field, is shown to strongly affect the stability of defect structures. We present a numerical study which addresses the role of flexoelectricity and order electricity in confined nematic liquid crystals, more specifically in n...
