Periodic perturbations in the cholesteric plane texture
Abstract
In a cholesteric plane texture identical two-dimensional periodic perturbations can be obtained using an electric field, thermal treatment or mechanical deformation. Results are reported for the period of the pattern as a function of sample thickness and pitch length.
