Abstract

The magnetohydrodynamics of a chiral nematic liquid crystal made from a mixture of PBLG and deuteriated chloroform was investigated by deuterium NMR. The first critical speed for the sample was determined using a dynamical approach, and the existence of a second critical speed, which is not predicted by theories which take into account only the viscous and magnetic torques, is revealed.
