Towing, breathing, splitting, and overtaking in driven colloidal liquid crystals
Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, 2010•APS
The nonequilibrium response of a colloidal liquid-crystalline nematic phase to an external
aligning field, which rotates in a plane, is explored by dynamical fundamental measure
density-functional theory. Depending on the drive frequency, different dynamical states are
found, which are characterized by towing and overtaking of the nematic director by the field
as well as by breathing and dynamical splitting of the orientational distribution peak. This
complex response can be exploited for smart optical switching and mixing devices.
