The small deformations induced by electric field in twisted flexoelectric nematic layers were simulated numerically. The onedimensional (i.e. homogeneous over the whole area of the layer) and two-dimensional (i.e. spatially periodic flexoelectric domains) deformations were considered. It was shown that the periodic deformations do not arise if sufficiently high pretilt angle is imposed by the boundary...
Dynamics of DC electric field induced deformations of flexoelectric nematic layers were studied numerically. The characteristic response times were calculated. It was found that the cooperative effect of flexoelectricity and of ionic space charge may affect the dynamics of the deformations even in the case of rigid anchoring.
Deformations of nematic layers induced by d.c. electric field were studied numerically. The nematic liquid crystal under consideration possessed flexoelectric properties. Its dielectric anisotropy was zero, so the deformations were solely of flexoeleclric nature. The threshold voltages for deformations were calculated for nematics with very low, moderate and high ion content. In the case of weak flexoelectric...
