Temperature dependence of surface orientation of nematic liquid crystals
-The mixed splay bend curvature elastic constant Kj~ of nematics is shown to be proportional to S, the modulus of the quadrupolar orientational
متن کاملNematic stability of discotic liquid crystals with orientation-dependent interactions.
Technological applications of discotic nematogens are limited by the robustness of the columnar phases. This investigation employs Monte Carlo simulations to explore the potentiality of tailoring specific interactions of either stacking or peripheral type in order to enhance nematic stability. It is concluded that the nematic phase is favored for discotic particles systems with homogeneous or w...
متن کاملORIENTATION OF DIMERIC LIQUID CRYSTALS THROUGH ZnXCd1-XSe NANOSTRUCTURED SURFACES
Single layers of ZnxCd1-xSe with three different compositions (x = 0.39, 0.59, 0.8) and thickness of 400 nm have been prepared by thermal vacuum evaporation, through alloying of ultra thin ZnSe and CdSe films. The microstructure and surface morphology of ZnxCd1-xSe has been investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy. Chiral and achiral bi-stable smectic C liquid crystal textures were obtained usin...
متن کاملNumerics for Liquid Crystals with Variable Degree of Orientation
We consider the simplest one-constant model, put forward by J. Eriksen, for nematic liquid crystals with variable degree of orientation. The equilibrium state is described by a director field n and its degree of orientation s, where the pair (n, s) minimizes a sum of Frank-like energies and a double well potential. In particular, the Euler-Lagrange equations for the minimizer contain a degenera...
متن کاملPhotoalignment of liquid crystals by liquid crystals
We observed light-induced alignment of the nematic liquid crystal, 4, 4(')-n-pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB), on a fused quartz. Irradiation of the adsorbed layer with polarized ultraviolet light produced homogeneous alignment in a 5CB-filled liquid crystal cell with the easy orientation axis perpendicular to the polarization direction. The measured anchoring energy increases with illumination up to ...
