title: Consequences of director-density coupling theory for flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals.
abstract: We theoretically study how the measurements of the flexoelectric coefficients in nematic liquid crystals are affected by the inclusion of the director-density coupling energy. It is shown that this investigation is quite relevant for interpreting the data of experiments.
