Abstract
Experimentally obtained time averages of disordered spatiotemporal chaotic patterns of electroconvection in a nematic liquid crystal reveal an ordered structure due to the boundaries of the pattern-forming system. The instantaneous snapshots and the time averages are characterized in terms of amplitude, wave number, and correlations in space and time. The averages have a significantly larger correlation length than that of the snapshots. Time averages reveal a wave number that differs from that of the underlying snapshots. Quantization effects within the regime of spatiotemporal chaos are found for the correlation length and for the estimated angle of coherent zigzag structures.
