铁磁液晶胶体中磁畴和缺陷的光学图形化

Optical patterning of magnetic domains and defects in ferromagnetic liquid crystal colloids

Andrew J. Hess, Qingkun Liu, Ivan I. Smalyukh

摘要:

在介观尺度上,将固体纳米结构和取向有序的软物质相结合是设计具有特殊物理行为的复合材料的一种有前途的方法。这种复合材料不仅继承了其组分的性质,而且还可以表现出涌现行为,例如当分散在液晶液晶中时形成介观磁化域的胶体金属纳米颗粒的铁磁有序化。在这里,我们展示了在这样的铁磁液晶胶体,这允许改变它们的响应磁场的域结构和拓扑缺陷的光学图案。我们的研究结果揭示了这种软物质系统中的缺陷的性质,与非极性向列相和铁磁体相比是不同的。

英文摘要:

A promising approach in designing composite materials with unusual physical behavior combines solid nanostructures and orientationally ordered soft matter at the mesoscale. Such composites not only inherit properties of their constituents but also can exhibit emergent behavior, such as ferromagnetic ordering of colloidal metal nanoparticles forming mesoscopic magnetization domains when dispersed in a nematic liquid crystal. Here we demonstrate the optical patterning of domain structures and topological defects in such ferromagnetic liquid crystal colloids, which allows for altering their response to magnetic fields. Our findings reveal the nature of the defects in this soft matter system which is different as compared to non-polar nematics and ferromagnets alike.
