Magnetic Field-Induced Macroscopic Alignment of Liquid-Crystalline Lanthanide Complexes

We propose a theoretical approach and a numerical method for determining the Frank elastic constants based on the experimental dependence of the effective values of the permittivity components on the magnetic field. The theoretical task was to find the minimum of the free energy and then to solve th...
