Fréedericksz transition
text:
The Fréedericksz transition is a phase transition in liquid crystals produced when a sufficiently strong electric or magnetic field is applied to a liquid crystal in an undistorted state. Below a certain field threshold the director remains undistorted. As the field value is gradually increased from this threshold, the director begins to twist until it is aligned with the field. In this fashion the Fréedericksz transition can occur in three different configurations known as the twist, bend, and
