Layer Undulations in Smectic a Liquid Crystals
We investigate instabilities of smectic A liquid crystals when a magnetic field is applied in the direction parallel to smectic layers. We use the Landau-de Gennes model of smectic A liquid crystals to characterize the critical magnetic field. When smectic A liquid crystals are confined between parallel plates, we derive analytic estimates for the magnetic field strength, at which the undeforme...
متن کاملSawtooth Profile in Smectic A Liquid Crystals
We study the de Gennes free energy for smectic A liquid crystals over S2-valued vector fields to understand the chevron (zigzag) pattern formed in the presence of an applied magnetic field. We identify a small dimensionless parameter ε, and investigate the behaviors of the minimizers when the field strength is of order O(ε−1). In this regime, we show via Γ-convergence that a chevron structure w...
متن کاملTriply periodic smectic liquid crystals.
Twist-grain-boundary phases in smectics are the geometrical analogs of the Abrikosov flux lattice in superconductors. At large twist angles, the nonlinear elasticity is important in evaluating their energetics. We analytically construct the height function of a pi2 twist-grain-boundary phase in smectic-A liquid crystals, known as Schnerk's first surface. This construction, utilizing elliptic fu...
متن کاملSmectic phases in ionic liquid crystals
Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) are anisotropic mesogenic molecules which carry charges and therefore combine properties of liquid crystals, e.g. the formation of mesophases, and of ionic liquids, such as low melting temperatures and tiny triple-point pressures. Previous density functional calculations have revealed that the phase behavior of ILCs is strongly affected by their molecular properties...
