Rj. Atkin et Iw. Stewart, THEORETICAL-STUDIES OF FREEDERICKSZ TRANSITIONS IN SMC LIQUID-CRYSTALS, European journal of applied mathematics, 8, 1997, pp. 253-262
We give a review of theoretical studies of Freedericksz transitions in
smectic C liquid crystals due to the application of magnetic and elec
tric fields. The relevance of these results and their connection with
experimentation is also discussed.
