Abstract
In an earlier study, we found that in a mixture of a nematogen with a nonmesomorphic compound, the director takes an oblique orientation at the nematicisotropic interface. In the present paper, we report observations of regular networks of a large number of disclination points on samples with a relatively large area of such an interface.Keywords
