Abstract

Molecular alignment in the nematic phase of p-methoxy benzylidene p′-n-butylaniline (MBBA) in the presence of electric and magnetic fields is investigated. The relative effectiveness of electric and magentic fields on the nematic liquid crystal MBBA is discussed. In the dielectric regime it is found that the threshold fields for chevron formation are considerably different from the threshold fields for inducing changes in the dielectric constant.
