An efficient Q-tensor-based algorithm for liquid crystal alignment away from defects
We develop a fast and accurate approximation of the normally stiff equations which minimize the Landau-de Gennes free energy of a nematic liquid crystal. The resulting equations are suitable for all configurations in which defects are not present, making them ideal for device simulation. Specificall...
