Description about electric field-induced new order reconstruction in a nanoconfined HAN cell
we investigated the electric field-induced structure transition in a nanoconfined HAN cell with -1/2 topological defect
where the electric field is parallel to the disclination line. Our results show that with fixed cell gaps
five new structure transition processes are induced by electric field; while cell gap variation leads to three transition modes for an applied electric field. The critical value of cell gap corresponding to the structure transition is characterized by the local minimum in the force curve.
