摘要: 本文针对具有 C2v对称性的液晶分子形成的向列相,基于液晶的 Onsager 分子理论,通过对自由能求变分,建立了多张量模型。多张量模型中含有较多的高阶张量,需对其进行封闭近似,得到由对称迹零张量表示的多张量模型,可用于描述不同液晶相之间的相变。
Abstract: In this paper, for the nematic phase formed by liquid crystal molecules with C2v symmetry, a multi-tensor model is established based on Onsager molecular theory of liquid crystals, and by variational of free energy. The multi-tensor model contains more high-order tensors, which need to be closed approximation, and a multi-tensor model represented by symmetric traceless tensors is obtained, which can be used to describe the phase transition between different liquid crystal phases.
