摘要: In nanometer scale, the defects in a liquid crystal film with geometric grooves exhibit two forms, namely, surface-induced (−1/2 and +1/2) −1/2 body defects. When condition is changed, compete each other film. The order reconstruction of occurs when gap smaller than threshold value. effects free periodic boundaries as boundary conditions for left right walls on structures are compared our paper.
