Free energy and torque for superconductors with different anisotropies of H(c2) and lambda.

The free energy is evaluated for a uniaxial superconductor with the anisotropy of the upper critical field, gamma(H)=H(c2,a)/H(c2,c), different from the anisotropy of the penetration depth gamma(lambda)=lambda(c)/lambda(a). With increasing difference between gamma(H) and gamma(lambda), the equilibrium orientation of the crystal relative to the applied field may shift from theta=pi/2 (theta is the angle between the field and the c axis) to lower angles and reach theta=0 for large enough gamma(H). These effects are expected to take place in MgB2.

Dielectric torque and orientation dynamics of liquid crystals with dielectric dispersion.

We demonstrate that the finite rate of dielectric relaxation in liquid crystals which has been ignored previously causes profound effects in the fast dielectric reorientation of the director. We propose a theory of dielectric response in which the electric displacement depends not only on the present (as in the standard theory) but also on the past values of electric field and director. We design an experiment with a dual-frequency nematic in which the standard "instantaneous" model and our model predict effects of opposite signs; the experimental data support the latter model.
