Abstract

Nonlinear electrophoretic motion of spherical dielectricmicroparticles in a cell filled with nematic liquid crystal was experimentally studied for the first time. It was shown that the average microparticle velocity v EPH depends on the cubic electric field strength E, v EPH ∼ E 3. It was found that the signal shape of the control electric field has no effect on the functional dependence v EPH (E 3).
