Abstract

A mechanism for the formation of one-and two-dimensional domains in planar nematic and cholesteric liquid crystal samples in an ultrasonic field is discussed. A new approach to the analysis of this phenomenon based on the concepts of nonequilibrium hydrodynamics and taking into account the relaxation properties of the mesophase is experimentally substantiated.
