Abstract Molecular orientation configurations across zig-zag defects and thin-line defects of the surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (SSFLC) cell are presented. The transmission spectra of the SSFLC cell of non-uniform states are numerically calculated using the asym-metric chcvron structure model. The calculations agree well with experimental results, which confirms the continuity of the N-director across the chevron interface. The color alternation of the SSFLC cell between crossed polarizers is well explained.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
