Textures in Polygonal Arrangements of Square Nanoparticles in Nematic Liquid Crystals Matrices
Paul M. Phillips, N. Mei, Ezequiel R. Soule +2
A systematic analysis of defect textures in facetted nanoparticles with polygonal configurations embedded in a nematic matrix is performed using the Landau-de Gennes model, homeotr…
A good and computationally efficient polynomial approximation to the Maier-Saupe nematic free energy
Ezequiel R. Soule, Alejandro D. Rey
A new computational strategy is proposed to approximate, with a simple but accurate expression, the Maier- Saupe free energy for nematic order. Instead of the traditional approach…
Thermodynamic Modelling of Phase Equilibrium in Nanoparticles-Nematic Liquid Crystals Composites
Ezequiel R. Soulé, Linda Reven, Alejandro D. Rey
In this work, a theoretical study of phase equilibrium in mixtures of a calamitic nematic liquid crystal and hard spherical nanoparticles is presented. A mean-field thermodynamic m…
Dynamics of transient metastable states in mixtures under coupled phase ordering and chemical demixing
Ezequiel R. Soulé, Alejandro D. Rey
We present theory and simulation of simultaneous chemical demixing and phase ordering in a polymer-liquid crystal mixture in conditions where isotropic-isotropic phase separation i…
Modeling Complex Liquid Crystals Mixtures: From Polymer Dispersed Mesophase to Nematic Nanocolloids
Ezequiel R. Soule, Alejandro D. Rey
Liquid crystals are synthetic and biological viscoelastic anisotropic soft matter materials that combine liquid fluidity with crystal anisotropy and find use in optical devices, se…
Multiple interfaces in diffusional phase transitions in binary mesogen-non-mesogen mixtures undergoing metastable phase separations
Ezequiel R. Soule, Cyrille Lavigne, Linda Reven +1
Theory and simulations of simultaneous chemical demixing and phase ordering are performed for a mixed order parameter system with an isotropic-isotropic (I-I) phase separation that…
