Orienting-Field Effects on Instability and Mode Selection in Active Nematics
An orienting field aligned perpendicular to substrate anchoring lowers the activity threshold for instability in confined active nematics and enables a new even-symmetry mode, while parallel alignment stabilizes the system.
