液晶Landau-de Gennes理论中的单轴性

Uniaxiality in the Landau-de Gennes theory of nematic liquid crystals

Apala Majumdar

摘要:

我们研究单轴能量最小的Landau-de Gennes理论的液晶,受Dirichlet边界条件。这种极小化的拓扑缺陷对应于相应的平衡场的零点。我们分别考虑二维和三维区域,研究了超导体的Landau-de Gennes理论和Ginzburg-Landau理论之间的对应关系。我们得到的缺陷集的位置和维数,缺陷集附近的极小配置文件的结果和研究的定性性质的单轴能量极小远离缺陷集,在物理相关的情况下,消失的弹性常数。在三维的情况下,我们建立了$C^{1,α}$ -收敛的单轴极小到一个极限调和映射,远离缺陷集,一些$0<α<1$。双轴极小的一些推广也进行了讨论。本工作的动机是研究液晶系统中的缺陷及其应用。

英文摘要:

We study uniaxial energy minimizers within the Landau-de Gennes theory for nematic liquid crystals, subject to dirichlet boundary conditions. Topological defects in such minimizers correspond to the zeros of the corresponding equilibrium field. We consider two-dimensional and three-dimensional domains separately and study the correspondence between Landau-de Gennes theory and Ginzburg-Landau theory for superconductors. We obtain results for the location and dimensionality of the defect set, the minimizer profile near the defect set and study the qualitative properties of uniaxial energy minimizers away from the defect set, in the physically relevant case of vanishing elastic constant. In the three-dimensional case, we establish the $C^{1,α}$-convergence of uniaxial minimizers to a limiting harmonic map, away from the defect set, for some $0<α<1$. Some generalizations for biaxial minimizers are also discussed. This work is motivated by the study of defects in liquid crystalline systems and their applications.
