Drag on particles in a nematic suspension by a moving nematic-isotropic interface.
We report a clear demonstration of drag on colloidal particles by a moving nematic-isotropic interface. The balance of forces explains our observation of periodic, striplike structures that are produced by the movement of these particles.
متن کاملWaves at the Nematic-isotropic Interface: Nematic–non-nematic and Polymer-nematic Mixtures
We extend the theory for surface modes at the nematic-isotropic interface[2, 3, 5, 7] to study comparatively two systems: nematic–nonnematic and polymer-nematic mixtures. We employ the dynamical generalization of the Landau-de Gennes model for the orientational (non-conserved) order parameter, coupled with the Cahn-Hilliard equation for concentration (conserved parameter), and include hydrodyna...
متن کاملSurface modes at the nematic-isotropic interface.
We examine surface modes at the nematic-isotropic interface using the generalized dynamical Landau-de Gennes theory. We assume an isothermal, infinite, unbounded nematic-isotropic system characterized by a scalar order parameter, both phases having the same density and viscosity, respectively. The generalized dispersion relation is obtained and analyzed in particular cases. Order parameter rela...
متن کاملWaves at the Nematic-isotropic Interface
We examine surface modes at the nematic-isotropic interface in polymer-liquid-crystal mixtures using the dynamical Landau-de Gennes model for the orientational (non-conserved) order parameter coupled with Cahn-Hilliard equation for concentration (conserved order parameter) and with hydrodynamic degrees of freedom. The generalized dispersion relation is obtained and analyzed in particular cases....
متن کاملElectro-capillary instability of a nematic-isotropic interface
We have studied the morphological instability under AC electric field of a nematicisotropic interface confined between two electrodes set at different temperatures. The electrodes are treated for homeotropic anchoring so that, when the field is increased, the Ericksen elastic stress vanishes. In this limit, the instability resembles that observed in ordinary liquids. However, significant differ...
