20.500.12556/RUL-148227 Coupling of nematic in-plane orientational ordering and equilibrium shapes of closed flexible nematic shells The impact of the intrinsic curvature of in-plane orientationally ordered curved flexible nematic molecules attached to closed 3D flexible shells was studied numerically. A Helfrich-Landau-de Gennes-type mesoscopic approach was adopted where the flexible shell’s curvature field and in-plane nematic field are coupled and concomitantly determined in the process of free energy minimisation. We demonstrate that this coupling has the potential to generate a rich diversity of qualitatively new shapes of closed 3D nematic shells and the corresponding specific in-plane orientational ordering textures, which strongly depend on the shell’s volume-to-surface area ratio, so farnot predicted in mesoscopic-type numerical studies of 3D shapes of closed flexible nematic shells. orientational ordering curved nematic molecules flexible nematic shells equilibrium shapes relative volume orientacijski red ukrivljene nematične molekule fleksibilne nematične lupine ravnovesne oblike relativni volumen true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2023-08-03 12:29:03 2023-08-03 12:29:06 2023-08-04 03:33:52 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-11 13, article number 10663 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 544.252.22 2045-2322 10.1038/s41598-023-37664-2 157604867 s41598-023-37664-2_(2).pdf s41598-023-37664-2_(2).pdf 1 510D59D33DCA7A371C43B0B4CC6CFA5B 81879b264def2ff6232d20bac2401b4dd8973120195c47c32bfc3cf179bb3630 73318f4d-31e9-11ee-aeaf-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=172272 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-37664-2 1 a1d963cc-31e8-11ee-aeaf-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=172271 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
