挠曲电蓝相

Flexoelectric blue phases

G P Alexander, J M Yeomans

摘要:

我们描述了液晶相的发生和性质,显示出二维的展曲和弯曲变形,这是稳定的挠曲电相互作用。这些相的特征在于由拓扑缺陷分离的局部双张开顺序的区域,并且因此高度类似于胆甾相液晶的蓝相。我们提出了一个平均场分析的基础上的朗道-德Gennes的Q-张量理论和构造的相位图的挠曲电结构使用的分析和数值结果。我们强调的相似性和差异之间的dielectric和flexoelectric的情况下。

英文摘要:

We describe the occurence and properties of liquid crystal phases showing two dimensional splay and bend distortions which are stabilised by flexoelectric interactions. These phases are characterised by regions of locally double splayed order separated by topological defects and are thus highly analogous to the blue phases of cholesteric liquid crystals. We present a mean field analysis based upon the Landau--de Gennes Q-tensor theory and construct a phase diagram for flexoelectric structures using analytic and numerical results. We stress the similarities and discrepancies between the cholesteric and flexoelectric cases.
