Abstract
Liquid crystals are very important materials in numerous technical applications. In the nematic phase, the correlation among liquid crystalline molecules is very strong because of the high anisotropy as well as the collective behavior of the molecules. This is responsible for the fact that liquid crystal molecules can easily reorient even with a very low applied field.
