摘要
On the basis of Landau-de Gennes theory and the finite-difference iterative method, the autonomic modulation of chiral inversion in a cylindrical cavity with degenerate planar anchoring is investigated. Under the applied helical twisting power (inversely related to the pitch P), a chiral inversion can be achieved due to the nonplanar geometry effect, and the inversion capacity rises with the increase of the helical twisting power. The combined effect of the saddle-splay K_{24} contribution (corresponding to the L_{24} term in Landau-de Gennes theory) and the helical twisting power are analyzed. It is found that the chiral inversion is more strongly modulated on the condition that the chirality of spontaneous twist is opposite to that of applied helical twisting power. Further, larger values of K_{24} will induce larger modulation of the twist degree and smaller modulation of the inverted region. The autonomic modulation of chiral inversion shows great potential for chiral nematic liquid crystal materials to be used in smart devices, such as light-controlled switches and nanoparticle transporters.
