Non-isothermal model for the direct isotropic/smectic-A liquid crystalline transition
Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir, Alejandro D. Rey
An extension to a high-order model for the direct isotropic/smectic-A liquid crystalline phase transition was derived to take into account thermal effects including anisotropic the…
Meta-stable nematic pre-ordering in smectic liquid crystalline phase transitions
Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir, Alejandro D. Rey
Modeling and simulation studies using a high-order Landau-de Gennes type model for the direct isotropic/smectic-A liquid crystal transition are presented showing the existence of m…
Shape-dynamic growth, structure, and elasticity of homogeneously oriented spherulites in an isotropic/smectic-A mesophase transition
Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir, Alejandro D. Rey
A Landau-de Gennes model that integrates the nematic quadrupolar tensor order parameter and complex smectic-A order parameters is used to simulate the two-dimensional growth of an…
Modeling the isotropic/smectic-C tilted lamellar liquid crystalline transition
Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir, Alejandro D. Rey
Extensions of a previously presented Landau-de Gennes type liquid crystalline phase transition model for the direct isotropic/smectic-A (lamellar) a phase transition to the direct…
Theory and computation of directional nematic phase ordering
Ezequiel R. Soulé, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir. Alejandro D. Rey
A computational study of morphological instabilities of a two-dimensional nematic front under directional growth was performed using a Landau-de Gennes type quadrupolar tensor orde…
