Fine structures of defect cores induced by elastic anisotropy and biaxiality in hybrid alignment nematics

Based on Landau–de Gennes theory and two-dimensional finite-difference iterative method, the spontaneous distortion in hybrid alignment nematic cells with M = ±1/2 disclination lines is investigated by establishing two models. The fine structures of defect cores are described in the order space S~2/Z_2. The joint action of elastic anisotropy(L_2/L_1) and biaxiality of defects induces the spontaneous twist distortion, accompanied by the movement of the defect center to the upper or lower plate. For each model, four mixed defect structures appear with the same energy, which are defined as energetically degenerated quadruple states.     

Stacking stability of MoS_2 bilayer: An ab initio study

The study of the stacking stability of bilayer MoS2 is essential since a bilayer has exhibited advantages over single layer MoS2 in many aspects for nanoelectronic applications. We explored the relative stability, optimal sliding path between different stacking orders of bilayer MoS2, and （especially） the effect of inter-layer stress, by combining first-principles density functional total energy calculations and the climbing-image nudge-elastic-band （CI-NEB） method. Among five typical stacking orders, which can be categorized into two kinds （I： AA＇, AB and II： AA＇, AB＇, A＇B）, we found that stacking orders with Mo and S superposing from both layers, such as AA＇ and AB, is more stable than the others. With smaller computational efforts than potential energy profile searching, we can study the effect of inter-layer stress on the stacking stability. Under isobaric condition, the sliding barrier increases by a few eV/（uc.GPa） from AA＇ to ABt, compared to 0.1 eV/（uc.GPa） from AB to [AB]. Moreover, we found that interlayer compressive stress can help enhance the transport properties of AA＇. This study can help understand why inter-layer stress by dielectric gating materials can be an effective means to improving MoS2 on nanoelectronic applications.     

Quantitative deviation of the two-photon absorption coefficient based on three laser pulse models

The pulse profile influence of excitation light on the two-photon absorption coefficient β is theoretically and numerically studied. Based on Gaussian spatial and temporal laser, we obtain an expansion formula of energy transmission. As compared with a plain beam and a pulse beam that is rectangular in time but Gaussian in space, the relative deviations of β turn out to be about 214% and 47%, respectively. These differences indicate that a smaller β may be obtained than the real one in usual nonlinear transmission. Our result suggests that by taking real pulse profile into account, a more exact β can be derived in energy transmission measurement.

Dynamics of a ±1/2 defect pair in a confined geometry:A thin hybrid aligned nematic cell

Confined geometry can change the defect structure and its properties.In this paper,we investigate numerically the dynamics of a dipole of ±1/2 parallel wedge disclination lines in a confined geometry:a thin hybrid aligned nematic(HAN) cell,based on the Landau-de Gennes theory.When the cell gap d is larger than a critical value of 12ξ(where ξis the characteristic length for order-parameter change),the pair annihilates.A pure HAN configuration without defect is formed in an equilibrium state.In the confined geometry of d ≤ 12ξ,the diffusion process is discovered for the first time and an eigenvalue exchange configuration is formed in an equilibrium state.The eigenvalue exchange configuration is induced by different essential reasons.When 10ξ d ≤ 12ξ,the two defects coalesce and annihilate.The biaxial wall is created by the inhomogeneous distortion of the director,which results in the eigenvalue exchange configuration.When d≤ 10ξ,the defects do not collide and the eigenvalue exchange configuration originates from the biaxial seeds concentrated at the defects.     

Two-Particle Cluster Theory for Biaxial Nematic Phase Based on a Recently Proposed Interaction Potential

Two-particle cluster theory is applied to study the biaxial nematic phase formed by biaxial molecules interacting with a simplified model proposed by Sonnet et al. [Phys. Rev. E 67 （2003） 061701]. For the temperature dependences of the internal energy per particle and of the order parameters, the two-particle theory yields an improved result compared with mean field theory. Concerning the phase diagram, the two-particle theory gives the numerical result in qualitative agreement with the mean field theory.
