Abstract

Spatiotemporal dynamics of oscillating electroconvective structures in a nematic liquid crystal during the combined action of AC and DC electric voltages were experimentally studied. It was found that the increase of DC component of the applied voltage leads to the synchronization of the hydrodynamic modes with the orientational twist mode. The results indicate the flexoelectric mechanism of synchronization.
