Abstract
Abstract Non-equilibrium transient periodic structures have been widely observed in thermotropic and lyotropic nematic liquid crystals. So far only the case of strongly anchored nematics has been considered. Here we investigate the influence of a finite anchoring energy on the non-equilibrium transient pattern in a twist geometry. Both the domain wavelength and the threshold field for the non-equilibrium pattern have been calculated for different values of the anchoring energy.
