“…For example, when NLC molecular are aligned along y-axis, n hi = diag(n o ,n e ,n o ); when they are aligned along x-axis, n hi =diag(n e ,n o ,n o ). The orientation of the NLC molecules can be controlled by appropriate homeotropic anchoring conditions or external electrical field [5,6]. The approximated circular unit cell represents a typical cylindrical coordinate system which is defined by (r,δ) radial and azumithal axes.…”
