Helfrich deformation in smectic A liquid crystals
The onset of an instability of a smectic A liquid crystal in a magnetic field directed parallel to the layers is analyzed. Regions in which the layers are periodically modulated can form in the system. The modulation amplitude and the characteristic parameters describing the motion of the boundaries of these regions are found.
