受限几何和拓扑诱导的有源近晶中的缺陷动力学

Defect dynamics in active smectics induced by confining geometry and topology

Zhi-Feng Huang, Hartmut Löwen, Axel Voigt

摘要:

在系统中的持续动力学的平衡,特别是那些具有湮灭和创建拓扑缺陷,是已知的涉及复杂的时空过程,被认为是难以控制的。在这里,活性近晶层中暴露于强约束的缺陷的复杂动力学进行了探索,通过自推进的活性粒子和各种限制几何形状具有不同的拓扑结构,从圆形,花形外摆线,内摆线腔,通道和环。我们确定了丰富的动力学行为在复杂的时空缺陷模式的演变过程中所引起的限制的形状和拓扑结构,特别是一个永久的创建-湮灭动态状态在中间活动与大波动的拓扑缺陷和可控的过渡,从振荡到阻尼的时间相关性的缺陷数密度通过边界尖点的机制。我们的结果是通过使用主动相位场晶体方法。可能的实验实现进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

The persistent dynamics in systems out of equilibrium, particularly those characterized by annihilation and creation of topological defects, is known to involve complicated spatiotemporal processes and is deemed difficult to control. Here the complex dynamics of defects in active smectic layers exposed to strong confinements is explored, through self-propulsion of active particles and a variety of confining geometries with different topology, ranging from circular, flower-shaped epicycloid, to hypocycloid cavities, channels, and rings. We identify a wealth of dynamical behaviors during the evolution of complex spatiotemporal defect patterns as induced by the confining shape and topology, particularly a perpetual creation-annihilation dynamical state at intermediate activity with large fluctuations of topological defects and a controllable transition from oscillatory to damped time correlation of defect number density via mechanisms governed by boundary cusps. Our results are obtained by using an active phase field crystal approach. Possible experimental realizations are also discussed.
