From molecular model to tensor model of nematic liquid crystals through entropy decomposition
Baoming Shi, Dawei Wu, Lei Zhang +1
In the mathematical modeling of nematic liquid crystals, a practical and physically reliable -tensor model can be derived from Onsager's molecular model with the Bingha…

Neural Network-Based Tensor Model for Nematic Liquid Crystals with Accurate Microscopic Information
Baoming Shi, Apala Majumdar, Lei Zhang
The phenomenological Landau-de Gennes (LdG) model is a powerful continuum theory to describe the macroscopic state of nematic liquid crystals. However, it is invariably less accura…

Nematic liquid crystals in a rectangular confinement: solution landscape and bifurcation
Baoming Shi, Yucen Han, Lei Zhang
We study the solution landscape and bifurcation diagrams of nematic liquid crystals confined on a rectangle, using a reduced two-dimensional Landau--de Gennes framework in terms of…
