Macroscopic Helicity of a Suspension of Chiral Magnetic Particles Based on a Nematic Liquid Crystal

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The authors consider the basic state of a suspension of chiral ferroparticles based on a nematic liquid crystal with finite coupling between the impurity and liquid crystal subsystems. An additional contribution to the free energy functional is proposed because of the chiral shape of impurity particles, which describes the formation of spontaneous macroscopic helicity of the orientational structure of a nematic liquid crystal.
