Abstract

The conditions for transitions between the possible structures in nematic liquid crystals with spherical particles (SPs) are studied. It has been shown that the divergent terms (K₁₃ and K₂₄) in Frank energy play an important role in such structures. The influence of charge of the SP and of an external electric field on the transitions between the structures is investigated.
