摘要：
We study theoretically static structure and annihilation dynamics of edge dislocations in a smectic-A liquid crystal confined to a plan-parallel cell. The Landau-Ginzburg type phenomenological approach is used in terms of a complex order parameter. We investigate a structure of an isolated dislocation that is enforced by boundary conditions. We further follow the annihilation dynamics of a pair of dislocations into a defectless state.
