摘要: 基于分子两体势,用Monte Carlo方法计算向列相液晶微滴.两体势基于格点模型,是空间各向异性的且依赖于液晶的弹性常数.假定向列相液晶微滴具有自由表面,引入切向内禀强度定量描写表面引发的分子内禀易取向的强弱.通过各向异性势的两种方案,在低温下计算切向内禀强度和二阶序参数在微滴内不同区域的变化,与Lebwohl-Lasher模型作对比分析.结果表明:只有一种方案在微滴表面产生内禀易取向,且内禀强度值的大小与K33/K11值有关;空间不完整的向列相液晶使得微滴由内层到外层有序度越来越低.

Abstract: Nematic droplets are studied with Monte Carlo simulation in a spatially anisotropic molecular pair potential model. The potential is based on a lattice model and dependent on elastic constants of liquid crystals. We assume that nematic droplet surface is a free surface and introduce tangent-introrse intensity to quantitatively describe intrinsic anchoring induced by surface. The tangent-introrse intensity and the second order parameters in different regions of droplets at low temperature are calculated by two schemes with spatially anisotropic potential and are compared with those in Lebwohl-Lasher model. Only one scheme can give intrinsic easy axis near droplets surface and introrse intensity is related to K33/K11. The degree of nematic order in the vicinity of droplet surface becomes lower from inner shell to outer shell due to incomplete anisotropic nematic-nematic interactions.

Key words: spatially anisotropic pair potential, Monte Carlo simulation, nematic droplets, free surface
