Liquid crystal physics

an electrohydrodynamic instability of nematic liquid crystals in which conductivity anisotropy builds space charge and drives convection rolls.

In liquid crystal physics, Carr-Helfrich instability refers to an electrohydrodynamic instability of nematic liquid crystals in which conductivity anisotropy builds space charge and drives convection rolls. This meaning comes from Helfrich (1969) in The Journal of Chemical Physics.[1]
