Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic instability in homeotropic nematic samples of 8CB (4′-n-octyl-4-cyanobiphenyl) has been observed. Some similarities between this instability and thermally induced instability have been found in our investigations. The charge injection due to thermionic emission and diffusion current play an important and major role in the roll type cellular domains observed in electrohydrodynamic instability.
