Magneto-optical response of twisted nematic cells

We construct a theoretical model for a thermotropic ferronematic (magnetic liquid crystal colloid) in an asymmetric twisted nematic cell, subject to in-plane magnetic fields. At low colloidal concentrations, the nematic director is unchanged by strong fields, the magnetic director principally respon...
