Laser扫描在Nematic Liquid Crystal薄膜上形成多个圆壁

Generation of Multiple Circular Walls on a Thin Film of Nematic Liquid Crystal by Laser Scanning

M. Kojima, J. Yamamoto, K. Sadakane, K. Yoshikawa

摘要:

我们发现,通过聚焦红外激光的螺旋扫描,可以在液晶的薄膜上产生多个圆壁(MCW)。MCW的相邻环的半径之间的比率几乎是恒定的。这些常数比可以用介质的Frank弹性自由能最小化理论来解释。尽管两个手性MCW的弹性自由能都是简并的,但MCW上的指向矢场表现出手征对称性破缺,即,MCW上的指向矢可以沿径向顺时针或逆时针旋转。

英文摘要:

We found that multiple circular walls (MCW) can be generated on a thin film of a nematic liquid crystal through a spiral scanning of a focused IR laser. The ratios between radii of adjacent rings of MCW were almost constant. These constant ratios can be explained theoretically by minimization of the Frank elastic free energy of nematic medium. The director field on a MCW exhibits chiral symmetry-breaking although the elastic free energies of both chiral MCWs are degenerated, i.e., the director on a MCW can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise along the radial direction.
