Selection of defect structures in twist-grain-boundary-A phase of chiral liquid crystals
Hiroto Ogawa
We study the structure of the twist grain boundary in chiral smectic liquid crystals using the Landau-de Gennes model. By considering spatial variation of the smectic order, we dis…

Effective elastic theory of smectic-A and smectic-C liquid crystals
Hiroto Ogawa
We analytically derive the effective layer elastic energy of smectic-A and smectic-C liquid crystals by adiabatic elimination of the orientational degree of freedom from the genera…

Numerical simulation of the twist-grain-boundary phase of chiral liquid crystals
Hiroto Ogawa, Nariya Uchida
We study the core structure of the twist-grain-boundary (TGB) phase of chiral liquid crystals by numerically minimizing the Landau-de Gennes free energy. We analyze the morphology…
