嵌埋在液晶中的立方微晶格:Landau de-Gennes研究

Cubic microlattices embedded in nematic liquid crystals: a Landau de-Gennes study

Razvan-Dumitru Ceuca

摘要:

我们考虑一个朗道德Gennes模型的连接立方晶格支架在一个cuberhost,在稀制度。我们分析了嵌入颗粒的晶格存在或不存在立方对称性的两种情况下的均质化极限,然后计算了复合材料的自由有效能。在立方对称的情况下,我们施加不同类型的表面锚定能量密度,如四次,Rapini-Papoular或更一般的版本,并且,在这种情况下,我们表明,我们可以调整任何系数从相应的体势,特别是相变温度。在与立方对称性损失的情况下,我们证明了类似的结果,其中的有效自由能泛函现在有一个额外的术语,它描述了在优选的排列的液晶颗粒内的域的变化。此外,我们计算的收敛速度收敛速率的表面能收敛到均匀的一个,以及如何快速的自由能的最小值趋于均匀的自由能的最小值。

英文摘要:

We consider a Landau-de Gennes model for a connected cubic lattice scaffold in a nematic host, in a dilute regime. We analyse the homogenised limit for both cases in which the lattice of embedded particles presents or not cubic symmetry and then we compute the free effective energy of the composite material. In the cubic symmetry case, we impose different types of surface anchoring energy densities, such as quartic, Rapini-Papoular or more general versions, and, in this case, we show that we can tune any coefficient from the corresponding bulk potential, especially the phase transition temperature. In the case with loss of cubic symmetry, we prove similar results in which the effective free energy functional has now an additional term, which describes a change in the preferred alignment of the liquid crystal particles inside the domain. Moreover, we compute the rate of convergence for how fast the surface energies converge to the homogenised one and also for how fast the minimisers of the free energies tend to the minimiser of the homogenised free energy.
