Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article we review interactions and collective behavior of inclusions in free-standing smectic films with in-plane orientational ordering. The inclusions interact on large distances and can form various self-organised structures. Topological defects of the director field play a key role in self-organization. Various types of interaction are realized, including dipolar, quadrupolar and interactions of mixed type. We describe different approaches which can be used to modify the interaction of inclusions. Effects of polarity and chirality of the host medium, behavior in external field are discussed. We describe open problems and perspective directions of investigations.

二维独立晶膜中夹杂物的相互作用和自组织

摘要本文综述了具有平面内取向有序的独立晶膜中夹杂物的相互作用和集体行为。包裹体在远距离上相互作用，形成各种自组织结构。指挥域的拓扑缺陷在自组织中起着关键作用。实现了多种类型的相互作用，包括偶极、四极和混合型相互作用。我们描述了可以用来改变包裹体相互作用的不同方法。讨论了宿主介质极性和手性的影响及其在外场中的行为。我们描述了开放的问题和研究的前景方向。
