Lattice orientation of cholesteric blue phases in contact with surfaces enforcing unidirectional planar anchoring
Jun‐ichi Fukuda, S. Žumer
Abstract
The authors study numerically how unidirectional surface anchoring affects the lattice orientation of cholesteric blue phases. The results specify the optimum lattice orientation with respect to the surface anchoring direction.
