论文摘要
近晶材料代表流体和固体之间的独特状态,其特征在于定向和部分位置顺序,使其臭名昭著地建模,尤其是在限制几何形状方面。我们提出了一个复杂的顺序参数张量,以描述层状排序,层位移和方向的局部程度。该理论解释了位错和脱节,以及逮捕的配置和胶体引起的局部订购。它大大简化了数字,促进了对拓扑复杂层状系统动力学的研究。
Smectic materials represent a unique state between fluids and solids, characterized by orientational and partial positional order, making them notoriously difficult to model, particularly in confining geometries. We propose a complex order parameter tensor to describe the local degree of lamellar ordering, layer displacement and orientation. The theory accounts for both dislocations and disclinations, as well as arrested configurations and colloid-induced local ordering. It considerably simplifies numerics, facilitating studies on the dynamics of topologically complex lamellar systems.
