Nonlinear Continuum Theory¶of Smectic-A Liquid Crystals

We present a continuum theory for smectic liquid crystals which allows variable molecular tilt and layer spacing by relating the two. This compressible theory is employed to predict the effect of â€ ̃homeotropicâ€TM type ordering at the plates on a planar Sm C sample. Such a boundary condition induces dilation of individual Sm C layers near the bounding plates. Export citation Request permission. Copyright.
