A homogeneously aligned nematic liquid crystal layer with positive dielectric anisotropy is considered to be acted upon by an electric field normal to and a magnetic field parallel to its initial orientation direction. The ratio of the twist to splay elastic constants of the nematic is supposed sufficiently small so that static twist-splay periodic distortion is exhibited by it as a threshold effect. The dependence of the threshold values of the electric field and the spatial wavenumber of the distortion on the orienting magnetic field is described. Also the existence of a limiting value of the orienting field, beyond which no periodic distortion has to be expected, is predicted. The dependence of this limiting field on the twist to splay e...
