A numerical study of the effect of thermomechanical force on dissipation processes in a microsized compressible and incompressible hybrid aligned nematics has been carried out. Calculations have shown that under the effect of a temperature gradient , a hybrid aligned compressible and incompressible nematic samples settles down to the stationary flow regimes, and the thermomechanical force strongly influences the directions and magnitudes of . A small quantitative difference was found in the equilibrium distribution of the horizontal velocity component for both compressible and incompressible nematic flow caused by the same , which is set up across the microsized hybrid aligned nematic channel.

An approximate method for calculating drift velocity and other kinetic coefficients of heavy ions
in a light gas is generalized to gaseous mixtures. Obtained equations are used to calculate the mobilities of
and ions, as well as rate constants for inelastic ion–molecule processes with these ions in helium with

During magnetospheric perturbations a relatively thin current sheet with thickness about several
proton gyroradii forms in the Earth’s magnetotail. In a framework of the kinetic model describing current
sheet thinning in the magnetotail, the processes of its formation are investigated depending on the normal
magnetic field magnitude which affects both the current sheet structure and particle dynamics within ...

The influence of asymmetry of plasma sources on the structure and spatial localization of a superthin
current sheet (STCS) supported by demagnetized electrons is studied using a self-consistent model. The
simulation takes into account the presence of a single plasma source in the northern hemisphere, which
makes the plasma flow asymmetric. It is demonstrated that the asymmetry of ...

A model of the cathode layer of a glow gas discharge with a thin dielectric film on a fraction of the
cathode’s working surface is formulated. It is shown that a glow discharge most rapidly transits to an arc discharge,
accompanied by a significant increase in discharge current density and a decrease in cathode voltage
drop, if the ...

Plasmonic nanostructures typically exhibit shifts in their resonant wavelength in response to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. This limits their applications in scenarios requiring stable optical resonances. Here we present a metallic-dielectric hybrid metasurface that exhibits stable multi-wavelength resonance even if the refractive index of its surrounding varies. To quantitatively evaluate the stability of ...

We present a simple model that simulates the possible influence of one society on another. Specifically, two societies evolve deterministically according to the well-known Nowak-May spatial game with the addition of mutual influence through connections that reflect the current states of the societies. This may be related to the influence of a global information resource ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

This study presents a mean-field theory for zwitterionic polymer solutions confined within attractive slit-like nanopores. Building upon our prior model for self-coacervation [Budkov et al., Soft Matter 19, 3281–3289 (2023)], we demonstrate that strong electrostatic dipole–dipole correlations between monomeric units, coupled with attraction to pore walls, can induce capillary-driven liquid–liquid phase separation inside the pore—a ...

We investigate the diffusion coefficients and mean-squared displacements in a polydisperse granular gas in
a homogeneous cooling state by considering the roughness of the particles. We study their dependence on the
normal and tangential restitution coefficients. We show that the motility of particles is strongly affected by their

Molecular dynamics methods have proven their applicability for the simulation of the structure and properties of liquid crystals. For the reproduction of phase transitions in liquid crystals, many authors have reparameterized the classical force fields. For the first time, we demonstrate that even a general-purpose force field, for example, General AMBER Force Field (GAFF), without ...

We have studied the two-dimensional axisymmetric Ericksen–Leslie equations with the non-zero inertial constant. The existence and uniqueness of the global weak solution is proved under certain assumptions.

Focal conic structure formed near the transition from the cholesteric liquid crystal phase into isotropic liquid is studied in planar cells with a combination of optical methods. Employing a procedure with slow variation of temperature, we manage to obtain regions of periodic focal conic structure with two-dimensional square ordering in the plane of the cell. ...

We investigated the coalescence of nematic droplets in an isotropic environment and that of isotropic droplets in a nematic environment in quasi-two-dimensional geometry of a flat optical cell. Two different regimes of coalescence were found. In the circular meniscus between the nematic and isotropic regions both nematic and isotropic phases exist. As a result, two bridges form at ...

droplet coalescence. Investigations were made using a Hele-Shaw cell in

coalescence there exists a bridge between the outer fluid connecting
regions on the two sides of the ...

The inclusions interact on large distances and can form various self-organised structures. Topological defects of the director field play a key role in self-organization. Various types of interaction are realized, including dipolar, quadrupolar and interactions of ...

Freestanding smectic films give a unique possibility to study two-dimensional coalescence. We report experimental investigations in freestanding films and detailed analysis of coalescence of islands, circular regions of larger thickness than the surrounding film. The driving force of island coalescence is the dislocation tension on the boundary between the island and the film. The obtained ...
