(a) Amplitude of S₁(α) distortion (left axis, blue curve) and full width half maximum of S₁(α) (right axis, green curve) as a function of applied strain amplitude γ₀. Both quantities show sharp transition at . The increasing amplitude of the distortion for indicates the growing distortion with increasing γ₀. Sharp loss of distortion occurs at , where the two-fold symmetry vanishes, and the amplitude becomes essentially flat. (b) Order parameter C(β = π, γ₀) of affine distortions shows sharp drop as a function of strain amplitude (left axis, blue). Also indicated are the elastic and viscous moduli, G′ and G′′ (right axis, green and black). Inset: Contour plot showing the evolution of the angular correlation function C(β, γ₀) (see color bar) as a function of strain amplitude γ₀ (vertical axis).
