Abstract The liquid crystal director distribution is determined for a confined chiral nematic slab. The molecular director distribution of the field-controlled chiral nematic slab is directly calculated. The director profiles for the tilt and the twist angles, under different applied fields, are calculated in the slab with weak boundary conditions. Then, the dependence of the threshold field on...
متن کاملMagnetically alignable phase of phospholipid "bicelle" mixtures is a chiral nematic made up of wormlike micelles.
We have studied the phase behavior of binary mixtures of long- and short-chain lipids, namely, dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dihexanoyl phosphatidylcholine (DHPC), using optical microscopy and small-angle neutron scattering. Samples with a total lipid content of 25 wt %, corresponding to ratios Q ([DMPC]/[DHPC]) of 5, 3.2, and 2, are found to exhibit an isotropic (I) --> chiral nem...
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 کاملNonlocal viscosity kernel of mixtures.
In this Brief Report we investigate the multiscale hydrodynamical response of a liquid as a function of mixture composition. This is done via a series of molecular dynamics simulations in which the wave-vector-dependent viscosity kernel is computed for three mixtures, each with 7-15 different compositions. We observe that the viscosity kernel is dependent on composition for simple atomic mixtur...
