摘要

在阶次参数空间中引入了一种与路径无关的量度,当沿着三维向列相中的任何封闭轮廓积分时,就能得到轮廓所包围的任何线缺陷的拓扑电荷。当在封闭表面或开放表面上积分时,相关的测量结果与点缺陷(刺猬)或 Skyrmions 相关电荷的已知结果一致。我们进一步定义了一种张量密度,即离散密度张量 D,通过它可以确定离散线的位置。该张量密度在该线附近的二元分解为其切线和旋转矢量,从而可以方便地确定二者的位置。张量 D 在没有缺陷的特殊构型(双游动或双扭转构型)中可能不为零,我们将提供其在这些构型中的表现。此外,还研究了 Skyrmions 和刺猬缺陷的特殊情况,包括根据 D 计算它们的拓扑电荷。

A tensor density measure of topological charge in three-dimensional nematic phases

A path-independent measure in order parameter space is introduced such that, when integrated along any closed contour in a three-dimensional nematic phase, it yields the topological charge of any line defects encircled by the contour. A related measure, when integrated over either closed or open surfaces, reduces to known results for the charge associated with point defects (hedgehogs) or Skyrmions. We further define a tensor density, the disclination density tensor D , from which the location of a disclination line can be determined. This tensor density has a dyadic decomposition near the line into its tangent and its rotation vector, allowing a convenient determination of both. The tensor D may be non-zero in special configurations in which there are no defects (double-splay or double-twist configurations), and its behaviour there is provided. The special cases of Skyrmions and hedgehog defects are also examined, including the computation of their topological charge from D .
