摘要
We have discovered novel nonlinear dissipative dynamic patterns in nematic liquid crystals under the influence of a continuously rotating magnetic field. We present a state diagram of the soliton structures as a function of field and rotation rate and discuss physical models describing their growth and propagation and transitions.
