摘要:

我们研究的对称性和空间均匀性的双轴取向顺序的相在最近的实验观察相双轴性在热致性的α-核心和calamitic-tetramer向列相。我们提出的证据支持单斜对称,而不是通常假设的正交。我们描述了使用氘NMR来区分可能的对称性。我们提出了空间方面的双轴秩序的上下文中的集群模型,其中宏观双轴性可以导致从场诱导的双轴和可能的极性域的排列。我们讨论了不同的对称性的影响,结合双轴相的微区结构,双轴向列相的排列和双轴顺序的测量。

英文摘要:

We study the symmetry and the spatial uniformity of orientational order of the biaxial nematic phase in the light of recent experimental observations of phase biaxiality in thermotropic bent-core and calamitic-tetramer nematics. We present evidence supporting monoclinic symmetry, instead of the usually assumed orthorhombic. We describe the use of deuterium NMR to differentiate between the possible symmetries. We present the spatial aspects of biaxial order in the context of the cluster model, wherein macroscopic biaxiality can result from the field-induced alignment of biaxial and possibly polar domains. We discuss the implications of different symmetries, in conjunction with the microdomain structure of the biaxial phase, on the alignment of biaxial nematics and on the measurements of biaxial order.
