On Brochard-Leger wall in liquid crystals

Description

The theoretical problems related to the Brochard-Leger wall in liquid crystals have been further explicated. It has been shown that there exists a critical region in liquid crystals, beyond which the Brochard-Leger wall does not exist. The relaxation behaviour of the wall has been discussed, and the relaxation time has been calculated. The speed of the Brochard-Leger wall has been investigated for the case for which the tilt angle of the external field is equal to a critical angle. (author)
