Flow induced bistable anchoring switching in nematic liquid crystals |
|
| Authors: | R. Barberi G. Durand |
| Abstract: | A hydrodynamically controlled switching of orientations of a nematic bistable surface anchoring is observed. A viscous torque moves surface lines between domains corresponding to bistable anchoring. An observed threshold for this viscous torque is attributed to relative spatial inhomogeneities of surface energy (∼10-2). |
