Title
The stability of nematic liquid crystals under crossed electric and magnetic fields
Abstract
The alignment of the director in nematic liquid crystals is known to be influenced by electric and/or magnetic fields. The stability of known traveling wave solutions is examined for a best fit cubic equation which approximates the nonlinear sinusoidal terms in tl-le dynamic equation for the director when it is subjected to crossed electric and magnetic fields.
