The motion of an interface between two coexisting states with different director orientations is considered. A uniformly translating front solution of the dynamical equations for the motion of that interface is described.7 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 1990Cristalls líquidsFísica estadísticaTermodinàmicaLiquid crystalsMetastability and front propagation in the first-order optical Fréedericksz transitioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article72000info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
