手性液晶扭曲晶界A相缺陷结构的选择

Selection of defect structures in twist-grain-boundary-A phase of chiral liquid crystals

Hiroto Ogawa

摘要:

本文利用Landau-de Gennes模型研究了手性近晶相液晶中扭曲晶界的结构。通过考虑近晶序的空间变化,我们区分了具有胆甾状畴的熔化晶粒边界A(MGBA)结构和由螺旋位错组成的扭曲晶粒边界A(TGBA)结构。MGBA结构在接近过渡到α相时变得稳定。在接近转变时,胆甾型畴生长在晶界外。此外,TGBA结构的位错间距符合更好地与实验结果比以前的理论。

英文摘要:

We study the structure of the twist grain boundary in chiral smectic liquid crystals using the Landau-de Gennes model. By considering spatial variation of the smectic order, we distinguish the Melted-Grain-Boundary-A (MGBA) structure with cholesteric-like domains and the Twist-Grain-Boundary-A (TGBA) structure consisting of screw dislocations. The MGBA structure becomes stable near the transition to the cholesteric phase. On approaching the transition, the cholesteric-like domain grows outside the grain boundary. Also, the dislocation spacings of the TGBA structure agree better with experimental results than previous theories.
