In this research article, we show that the coupling of magnetic field with director angle of molecules can tune the optical properties of liquid crystal cell. Depending upon the strength of applied magnetic field, the liquid crystal exhibits phase transition including the twist bending phenomena having rotational order parameter that converts into isotropic phase. The interaction of magnetic field and directional angle is based on the boundary conditions and approximations leading to variation of the strength of coupling. First, while analyzing the optical characteristics, we find that the orientation angle increases with increase in the layer thickness of liquid crystal and decreases after reaching critical thickness of 50 nm, in which the variation is found only when the ratio H /HF is greater than 1 under increasing field, while in decreasing field similar variation is also found for the H/ HF ratio less than 1. Furthermore, on the basis of the transmission characteristics of asymmetric PC with liquid crystal defect, we note that, it offers the characteristics of multichannel filter in the central region of wavelength 6000 Ǻ, while the transmission is nearly 0.7 to 0.8. Depending on the twist bend phenomena inside liquid crystal cell, it can be employed in bistable and all-optical switching devices, and optical multichannel filters can be designed.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
