Interaction of an inclusion and (±1)-wedge disclination in smectic C free standing films

The interaction between an inclusion and (±1)-disclination situated near it in smectic C free standing films is investigated. The inclusion is modelled by the simplified model of an inclusion represented by (+1)-wedge disclination in the inclusion centre and two (−1/2)-wedge disclinations at opposite positions on the inclusion surface. New positions of (−1/2)-wedge disclinations due to the elastic interaction with (±1)-disclination were determined.
