Texto completoActive nematics are a class of nonequilibrium systems which have received much attention in the form of continuum models in recent years. For the dense, highly ordered case which is of particular interest, these models focus almost exclusively on suspensions of active particles in which the flow of the medium plays a key role in the dynamical equations. Many active nematics, however, reside at an interface or on a surface where friction excludes the effects of long-range flow. In the following pages we shall construct a general model which describes these systems with overdamped dynamical equations. Through numerical and analytical investigation we detail how many of the striking nonequilibrium behaviors of active nematics arise in such systems.
We shall first discuss how the activity in these systems gives rise to an instability in the nematic ordered state. This instability leads to phase-separation in which bands of ordered active nematic are interspersed with bands of the disordered phase. We expose the factors which control the density contrast and the stability of these bands through numerical investigation.
We then turn to the highly ordered phase of active nematic materials, in which striking nonequilibrium behaviors such as the spontaneous formation, self-propulsion, and ordering of charge-half defects occurs. We extend the overdamped model of an active nematic to describe these behaviors by including the advection of the director by the active forces in the dynamical equations. We find a new instability in the ordered state which gives rise to defect formation, as well as an analog of the instability which is seen in models of active nematic suspensions. Through numerical investigations we expose a rich phenomenology in the neighborhood of this new instability. The phenomenology includes a state in which the orientations of motile, transient defects form long-range order. This is the first continuum model to contain such a state, and we compare the behavior seen here with similar states seen in the experiments and simulations of Stephen DeCamp and Gabriel Redner et. al. [1]
Finally, we propose the measurement of defect shape as a mechanism for the comparison between continuum theories of active nematics and the experimental and simulated realiza- tions of these systems. We present a method for making these measurements which allows for averaging and statistical analysis, and use this method to determine how the shapes of defects depend on the parameters of our continuum theory. We then compare these with the shapes of defects which we measure in the experiments and simulations mentioned above in order to place these systems in the parameter space of our model. It is our hope that this mechanism for comparison between models and realizations of active nematics will provide a key to pairing the two more closely.

Texto completoThe aim of this work is to study sol-gel and isotropic-nematic phases transitions in suspensions of dioctahedral smectites depending on the morphology and mineralogical nature of clays. Although all the systems studied exhibit a sol-gel at low volume fraction, the liquid-crystalline isotropic-nematic transition could be identified only in the case of smectites with tetrahedral charge deficit. The effect of charge location on the colloidal behavior was determined using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and rheological measurements. The nature of electrostatic interactions in these suspensions is purely repulsive and rejects the idea of the so-called “house of card” network. However, smectites with a charge deficit located in the tetrahedron are more repulsive and their viscoelastic properties are lower than octahedrally substituted clays. It was also shown that the particle size dependence of the volume fraction corresponding to the sol-gel transition c was related to a simple statistical hydrodynamic trapping of clay platelets. Finally, the application of external fields (electric and magnetic) has resulted in the alignment of the nematic phase while in the isotropic phase, the electric field induces a perfect antinematic order. To preserve the induced alignment, these suspensions were polymerized under the field to obtain perfectly aligned and patterned nanocomposites

Texto completoMany previous studies of the isotropic-nematic phase coexistence are mainly focused on either rigid rod-like polymers with small flexibility, or flexible polymers with large flexibility. The phase coexistence of polymers with intermediate flexibility is desired to be investigated. For these three typical cases (flexible, rigid-rod and intermediate), the profiles for density, order parameter and tension contribution were shown for different tilt angles. The interface tension was studied. The simulation results are consistent with those reported by other people.
We investigated the confinement of a long polymer between two flat hard walls, which are separated by a distance comparable to the effective Kuhn length of polymer chain by the wormlike chain model with or without the Onsager excluded volume interaction. Without the interaction, the results are compared with those of the Gaussian chain model. Including the interaction, the phase diagram is analyzed.

Texto completoThe nematic phases of liquid crystals have been the most thoroughly investigated since the founding of the liquid crystal field in the early 1900’s. The resulting technologies, most notably the liquid crystal display, have changed our world and spawned an entire industry. Consequently, the recent identification of a new type of nematic – the twist-bend nematic – was met with as much surprise as excitement, as it melds the fluid properties and environmental responsiveness of conventional nematics with the intrinsic polarization and complex ordering of bent-core liquid crystals. I summarize the history of the twist-bend nematic phase, charting the development of our understanding from its first identification to the present day. Furthermore, I enumerate and highlight my own efforts in the field to characterize the behavior and nanoscale organization of the twist-bend phase.

Texto completoLaser beam control is important in many applications. Phase modulating spatial light modulators (SLMs) can be used to electronically alter the phase distribution of an optical wave-front and thus change the direction and shape of a laser beam. Physical constraints set limitations to the SLM and an ideal phase distribution can usually not be realised. In order to understand how such components can be used for non-mechanical beam control three nematic liquid crystal (NLC) SLMs have been thoroughly characterised and modelled.
The pixel structure and phase quantisation give a discrepancy between ideal and realised phase distributions. The impact on beam steering capability was examined by measurements and simulations of the intensity distribution in the far-field.
In two of the studied SLMs the pixel period was shorter than the thickness of the LC layer giving the optical phase shift. This results in a so-called “fringing field”, which was shown to degrade the phase modulation and couple light between polarisation modes. The deformation of the LC was simulated and a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm was used to calculate how polarised light propagates through the optically anisotropic SLM.
Non-mechanical beam steering and tracking in an optical free-space communication link were demonstrated. Continual optimisation of the steering angle was achieved by feedback from a video camera.
The optical properties of the SLM in the time period right after a voltage update were studied. It was shown how light is redistributed between orders during the switching from one blazed grating to another. By appropriate choice of the blazed gratings the effects on the diffraction efficiency can be minimised.
The detailed knowledge of the SLM structure and its response to electronic control makes it possible to predict and optimise the device performance in future systems.
