Abstract
Nonstationary electrohydrodynamic convection of nematic liquid crystals in dc electric field has been investigated experimentally. Two modes of domain oscillations: longitudinal - along the initial orientation of director and azimuth - along the crystallographic axes of hexagonal grid pattern have been found in oscillating domain lattice. It has been established that the transition from stationary grid pattern to oscillating one is similar to the first order phase transition.
