Abstract

The electroconvection of a nematic liquid crystal in a quasi-one dimensional (1D) geometry was experimentally studied. By using a fifth-order (quintic) complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (QCGLE), it was possible to reproduce in a large part both the cascade of bifurcations and the width-selection effect.
