Orientational order on curved surfaces - the high temperature region
We study orientational order, subject to thermal fluctuations, on a fixed curved surface. We derive, in particular, the average density of zeroes of Gaussian distributed vector fields on a closed Riemannian manifold. Results are compared with the density of disclination charges obtained from a Coulomb gas model. Our model describes the disordered state of two dimensional objects with orientatio...
متن کاملLiquid crystal alignment on carbonaceous surfaces with orientational order.
We used near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy to link the orientational bond order at three carbonaceous surfaces-rubbed polyimide, ion beam-irradiated polyimide, and ion beam-irradiated diamondlike carbon films-with the direction of liquid crystal (LC) alignment on these surfaces. We show that, in general, LC alignment can be created on any carbonaceous substrate by i...
متن کاملPolymer Adsorption on Curved Surfaces: Finite chain length corrections
The structural properties of polymers adsorbed onto a surface have been widely investigated using self-consistent mean-field theories. Recently, analytical mean-field theories have been applied to study polymer adsorption on curved surfaces but all in the context of the ground state dominance approximation in which the polymer chain length (N) is essentially infinite. Using an expression for th...
متن کاملAutomorphisms of Finite Order on Rational Surfaces
Ž . We classify minimal pairs X, G for smooth rational projective surface X and finite group G of automorphisms on X. We also determine the fixed locus X G and the quotient surface Y X G as well as the fundamental group of the smooth part of Y. The realization of each pair is included. Mori’s extremal ray theory and recent results of Alexeev and also Ambro on the existence of good anti-canonica...
متن کاملCrystallography on curved surfaces.
We study static and dynamical properties that distinguish 2D crystals constrained to lie on a curved substrate from their flat-space counterparts. A generic mechanism of dislocation unbinding in the presence of varying Gaussian curvature is presented in the context of a model surface amenable to full analytical treatment. We find that glide diffusion of isolated dislocations is suppressed by a ...
