On spatial variations of nematic ordering
We present a theory of orientational order in nematic liquid crystals which interpolates between several distinct approaches based on the director field (Oseen and Frank), order parameter tensor (Landau and de Gennes), and orientation probability density function (Onsager). As in density-functional theories, the suggested free energy is a functional of spatially-dependent orientation distributi...
متن کاملEffect of nematic ordering on electronic structure of FeSe
Electronically driven nematic order is often considered as an essential ingredient of high-temperature superconductivity. Its elusive nature in iron-based superconductors resulted in a controversy not only as regards its origin but also as to the degree of its influence on the electronic structure even in the simplest representative material FeSe. Here we utilized angle-resolved photoemission s...
متن کاملVariations on an Ordering Theme with Constraints
We investigate the problem of finding a total order of a finite set that satisfies various local ordering constraints. Depending on the admitted constraints, we provide an efficient algorithm or prove NP-completeness. We discuss several generalisations and systematically classify the problems.

متن کاملOrdering of Glass Rods in Nematic and Cholesteric Liquid Crystals
The orientational assembly of glass rods (3 x ~15 μm) in nematic, twisted nematic, and cholesteric liquid crystal cells was observed and quantified with optical microscopy. At this size, the rods were affected strongly by gravity and sedimented to the bottom of the cells. Temporal visualization of the sedimentation process (induced by flipping the cell over) shed insight into the effect the liq...
