Director dynamics in a nematic liquid crystal is studied without imposing the one constant approximation. New field equations in the form of Ginzburg-Landau and Schro¨dinger-type equations have been derived for the rotation and divergence of the director field in terms of splay-bend mode and solved.
Study of electrohydcodynamic instabilities in thicker nematic liquid crystal samples (800-1200 pm) of MBBA is reported. An initial rise in the intensity of transmitted light immediately after the application of an electric field has been found to precede the attenuation of the transmitted beam due t
