彩色液晶液滴的参数

Paradoxes for Chromonic Liquid Crystal Droplets

Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga

摘要:

有色液晶构成了一种新的溶致相,其弹性性质迄今为止已经在经典的Oseen-Frank理论中建模,只要扭曲常数被假设为比鞍展常数小得多,这违反了一个埃里克森不等式。本文表明,矛盾的后果,从这样的违反这些材料的液滴包围的各向同性流体。例如,具有退化平面锚定的类核体简单地无限分裂成无数较小的类核体。

英文摘要:

Chromonic liquid crystals constitute a novel lyotropic phase, whose elastic properties have so far been modeled within the classical Oseen-Frank theory, provided that the twist constant is assumed to be considerably smaller than the saddle-splay constant, in violation of one Ericksen inequality. This paper shows that paradoxical consequences follow from such a violation for droplets of these materials surrounded by an isotropic fluid. For example, tactoids with a degenerate planar anchoring simply disintegrate indefinitely in myriads of smaller ones.
