We have described a novel mechanism of the kinklike pressure P(z-vt) response of the microsized twisted nematic volume under the effect of externally applied electric field E directed parallel to the restricted surfaces and induced by a strong local disturbance of the director field n[over ̂]. It is found that the torques acting on the director n[over ̂] may excite the pressure traveling wave spreading along the normal to both boundaries, whose resemblance to a kink-like wave increases with increasing the value of the applied electric field greater than some critical value E_{cr}.
我们描述了一种新的机制,即在平行于受限表面施加的外部电场 E 的作用下,微小扭曲向列体积的扭结状压力 P(z-vt)响应,该电场由指向场 n[over ̂]的强局部扰动引起。结果发现,作用于指向矢 n[over ̂]的转矩可能会激发沿两个边界的法向传播的压力行波,当施加的电场大于某个临界值 E_{cr}时,该行波类似于扭结波。
