Electric field-induced new structure transition of negative nematic liquid crystals confined to submicron cylinder cells

Based on Landau-de Gennes theory, electric field-induced structure transition of negative nematic liquid crystals in submicron-confined cylinder cells was investigated. The easy orientation of the weak anchoring conditions on the cylindrical side surface was prescribed along the radial direction. Wh...
