- Additional information
- Novel construction of equilibrium equations for smectic liquid crystals subjected to non-uniform physical boundary conditions. Verifies previous simpler models. Provides a technique for studying equilibrium solutions of physical problems related to existence of dust particles in flat screen and bistable liquid crystals displays or sensing foreign bodies in the atmosphere.
