Jose Manuel Romero-Enrique, Chi-Tuong Pham, Pedro Patricio

摘要:

我们表征的弹性贡献的表面自由能的一个certain在存在的certain基板。我们的研究结果是基于数值最小化的Landau-de Gennes模型和分析计算的Frank-Oseen理论。在衬底的楔形和顶点中的向错线(其特征在于非半整数缠绕数)的成核引起与qlnq成比例的前导阶,该前导阶与对表面自由能量密度的弹性贡献成比例,q是与衬底周期性相关联的波数。

英文摘要:

We characterize the elastic contribution to the surface free energy of a nematic in presence of a sawtooth substrate. Our findings are based on numerical minimization of the Landau-de Gennes model and analytical calculations on the Frank-Oseen theory. The nucleation of disclination lines (characterized by non-half-integer winding numbers) in the wedges and apexes of the substrate induces a leading order proportional to qlnq to the elastic contribution to the surface free energy density, q being the wavenumber associated with the substrate periodicity.
