Volume 88, Issue 24

Numerical solutions for geometry-induced twist transitions in a liquid crystal confined between a sinusoidal grating at the top and a flat surface at the bottom. The color plots are for physical (left) and unphysical (right) values of the surface elastic constant, respectively. [Pedro Patrício, M. M. Telo da Gama, and S. Dietrich, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 245502 (2002)]
