Abstract
The conditions for transitions between the possible structures in nematic liquid crystals with spherical particles (SPs) are studied. It has been shown that the divergent terms (K13 and K24) in Frank energy play an important role in such structures. The influence of charge of the SP and of an external electric field on the transitions between the structures is investigated.Keywords
