TL;DR: Dans une experience de solidification directionnelle sur une interface nematique isotrope en mouvement, on observe des modes solitaires se propageant a travers l'interface egalement l'instabilite d'Eckhaus.
Abstract: Dans une experience de solidification directionnelle sur une interface nematique isotrope en mouvement, on observe des modes solitaires se propageant a travers l'interface. On observe egalement l'instabilite d'Eckhaus. En presence de modes solitaires, le mecanisme de la selection des formes est dynamique

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an experiment on directional solidification of liquid crystals, in which they test predictions of the Mullins-Sekerka linear stability theory and begin to explore nonlinear, secondary instabilities.
