Long range orientational order is one of the most fundamental |
| 6 |
|
properties of liquid crystal mesophases. This orientational |
| 7 |
|
anisotropy of the macroscopic phases originates in the shape |
| 8 |
|
anisotropy of the constituent molecules. Among these anisotropy |
| 9 |
|
mesogens, rod-like (calamitic) and disk-like molecules have been |
| 10 |
< |
exploited in great detail in the last two decades. Typically, these |
| 11 |
< |
mesogens consist of a rigid aromatic core and one or more attached |
| 12 |
< |
aliphatic chains. For short chain molecules, only nematic phases, in |
| 13 |
< |
which positional order is limited or absent, can be observed, |
| 14 |
< |
because the entropy of mixing different parts of the mesogens is |
| 15 |
< |
paramount to the dispersion interaction. In contrast, formation of |
| 16 |
< |
the one dimension lamellar sematic phase in rod-like molecules with |
| 17 |

sufficiently long aliphatic chains has been reported, as well as the |
| 18 |

% banana shaped |

|
Recently, the banana-shaped or bent-core liquid crystal have became |
| 21 |
|
one of the most active research areas in mesogenic materials and |
| 22 |
< |
supramolecular chemistry. Unlike rods and disks, the polarity and |
| 23 |
< |
biaxiality of the banana-shaped molecules allow the molecules |
| 24 |
< |
organize into a variety of novel liquid crystalline phases which |
| 25 |
< |
show interesting material properties. Of particular interest is the |
| 26 |
< |
spontaneous formation of macroscopic chiral layers from achiral |
| 27 |
< |
banana-shaped molecules, where polar molecule orientational ordering |
| 28 |
< |
is shown within the layer plane as well as the tilted arrangement of |
| 29 |
< |
the molecules relative to the polar axis. As a consequence of |
| 30 |
< |
supramolecular chirality, the spontaneous polarization arises in |
| 31 |
< |
ferroelectric (FE) and antiferroelectic (AF) switching of smectic |
| 32 |
< |
liquid crystal phases, demonstrating some promising applications in |
| 33 |
< |
second-order nonlinear optical devices. The most widely investigated |
| 34 |
< |
mesophase formed by banana-shaped moleculed is the $\text{B}_2$ |
| 35 |
< |
phase, which is also referred to as $\text{SmCP}$. Of the most |

important discover in this tilt lamellar phase is the four distinct |
| 38 |

packing arrangements (two conglomerates and two macroscopic |
| 39 |

racemates), which depend on the tilt direction and the polar |

direction of the molecule in adjacent layer (see |

Many liquid crystal synthesis experiments suggest that the |
| 54 |
|
occurrence of polarity and chirality strongly relies on the |
| 55 |
< |
molecular structure and intermolecular interaction. From a |
| 56 |
< |
theoretical point of view, it is of fundamental interest to study |
| 57 |
< |
the structural properties of liquid crystal phases formed by |
| 55 |
> |
molecular structure and intermolecular interaction\cite{Reddy2006}. |

From a theoretical point of view, it is of fundamental interest to |
| 57 |
> |
study the structural properties of liquid crystal phases formed by |
| 58 |
|
banana-shaped molecules and understand their connection to the |
| 59 |
|
molecular structure, especially with respect to the spontaneous |
| 60 |
|
achiral symmetry breaking. As a complementary tool to experiment, |
| 65 |
|
smectic arrangements\cite{Cook2000, Lansac2001}, as well as other |
| 66 |
|
bulk properties, such as rotational viscosity and flexoelectric |
| 67 |
|
coefficients\cite{Cheung2002, Cheung2004}. However, due to the |
| 68 |
< |
limitation of time scale required for phase |
| 69 |
< |
transition\cite{Wilson1999} and the length scale required for |
| 70 |
< |
representing bulk behavior, the dominant models in the field of |
| 71 |
< |
liquid crystal phase behavior are generic |
| 72 |
< |
models\cite{Lebwohl1972,Perram1984, Gay1981}, which are based on the |
| 73 |
< |
observation that liquid crystal order is exhibited by a range of |
| 74 |
< |
non-molecular bodies with high shape anisotropies. Previous |
| 75 |
< |
simulation studies using hard spherocylinder dimer |
| 76 |
< |
model\cite{Camp1999} produce nematic phases, while hard rod |
| 77 |
< |
simulation studies identified a Landau point\cite{Bates2005}, at |
| 78 |
< |
which the isotropic phase undergoes a transition directly to the |
| 79 |
< |
biaxial nematic, as well as some possible liquid crystal |
| 80 |
< |
phases\cite{Lansac2003}. Other anisotropic models using Gay-Berne |
| 81 |
< |
potential give the evidence of the novel packing arrangement of |
| 74 |
< |
bent-core molecules\cite{Memmer2002,Orlandi2006}. |

Experimental studies by Levelut {\it et al.}~\cite{Levelut1981} |
| 84 |
+ |
revealed that terminal cyano or nitro groups usually induce |
| 85 |
+ |
permanent longitudinal dipole moments, which affect the phase |
| 86 |
+ |
behavior considerably. A series of theoretical studies also drawn |
| 87 |
+ |
equivalent conclusions. Monte Carlo studies of the GB potential with |
| 88 |
+ |
fixed longitudinal dipoles (i.e. pointed along the principal axis of |
| 89 |
+ |
rotation) were shown to enhance smectic phase |
| 90 |
+ |
stability~\cite{Berardi1996,Satoh1996}. Molecular simulation of GB |
| 91 |
+ |
ellipsoids with transverse dipoles at the terminus of the molecule |
| 92 |
+ |
also demonstrated that partial striped bilayer structures were |
| 93 |
+ |
developed from the smectic phase ~\cite{Berardi1996}. More |
| 94 |
+ |
significant effects have been shown by including multiple |
| 95 |
+ |
electrostatic moments. Adding longitudinal point quadrupole moments |
| 96 |
+ |
to rod-shaped GB mesogens, Withers \textit{et al} induced tilted |
| 97 |
+ |
smectic behaviour in the molecular system~\cite{Withers2003}. Thus, |
| 98 |
+ |
it is clear that many liquid-crystal forming molecules, specially, |
| 99 |
+ |
bent-core molecules, could be modeled more accurately by |
| 100 |
+ |
incorporating electrostatic interaction. |
| 101 |
+ |
|
| 102 |
+ |
In this chapter, we consider system consisting of banana-shaped |
| 103 |
+ |
molecule represented by three rigid GB particles with one or two |
| 104 |
+ |
point dipoles at different location. Performing a series of |
| 105 |
+ |
molecular dynamics simulations, we explore the structural properties |
| 106 |
+ |
of tilted smectic phases as well as the effect of electrostatic |
| 107 |
+ |
interactions. |

A typical banana-shaped molecule consists of a rigid aromatic |
| 112 |

central bent unit with several rod-like wings which are held |
| 113 |

together by some linking units and terminal chains (see |
| 114 |

Fig.~\ref{LCFig:BananaMolecule}). In this work, each banana-shaped |
| 115 |
> |
mesogen has been modeled as a rigid body consisting of three |
| 116 |
> |
equivalent prolate ellipsoidal GB particles. The GB interaction |
| 117 |

potential used to mimic the apolar characteristics of liquid crystal |

molecules takes the familiar form of Lennard-Jones function with |

where $\epsilon _{fs}$ is the permittivity of free space. |

\section{Computational Methodology} |
| 216 |
> |
|
| 217 |
> |
A series of molecular dynamics simulations were perform to study the |
| 218 |
> |
phase behavior of banana shaped liquid crystals. In each simulation, |
| 219 |
> |
every banana shaped molecule has been represented by three GB |
| 220 |
> |
particles which is characterized by $\mu = 1,~ \nu = 2, |
| 221 |
> |
~\epsilon_{e}/\epsilon_{s} = 1/5$ and $\sigma_{e}/\sigma_{s} = 3$. |
| 222 |
> |
All of the simulations begin with same equilibrated isotropic |
| 223 |
> |
configuration where 1024 molecules without dipoles were confined in |
| 224 |
> |
a $160\times 160 \times 120$ box. After the dipolar interactions are |
| 225 |
> |
switched on, 2~ns NPTi cooling run with themostat of 2~ps and |
| 226 |
> |
barostat of 50~ps were used to equilibrate the system to desired |
| 227 |
> |
temperature and pressure. |
| 228 |
> |
|
| 229 |
> |
\subsection{Order Parameters} |
| 230 |
> |
|
| 231 |
> |
To investigate the phase structure of the model liquid crystal, we |
| 232 |
> |
calculated various order parameters and correlation functions. |
| 233 |
> |
Particulary, the $P_2$ order parameter allows us to estimate average |
| 234 |
> |
alignment along the director axis $Z$ which can be identified from |
| 235 |
> |
the largest eigen value obtained by diagonalizing the order |
| 236 |
> |
parameter tensor |
| 237 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 238 |
> |
\overleftrightarrow{\mathsf{Q}} = \frac{1}{N}\sum_i^N % |
| 239 |
> |
\begin{pmatrix} % |
| 240 |
> |
u_{ix}u_{ix}-\frac{1}{3} & u_{ix}u_{iy} & u_{ix}u_{iz} \\ |
| 241 |
> |
u_{iy}u_{ix} & u_{iy}u_{iy}-\frac{1}{3} & u_{iy}u_{iz} \\ |
| 242 |
> |
u_{iz}u_{ix} & u_{iz}u_{iy} & u_{iz}u_{iz}-\frac{1}{3} % |
| 243 |
> |
\end{pmatrix}, |
| 244 |
> |
\label{lipidEq:po1} |
| 245 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 246 |
> |
where the $u_{i\alpha}$ is the $\alpha$ element of the unit vector |
| 247 |
> |
$\mathbf{\hat{u}}_i$, and the sum over $i$ averages over the whole |
| 248 |
> |
collection of unit vectors. The $P_2$ order parameter for uniaxial |
| 249 |
> |
phase is then simply given by |
| 250 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 251 |
> |
\langle P_2 \rangle = \frac{3}{2}\lambda_{\text{max}}. |
| 252 |
> |
\label{lipidEq:po3} |
| 253 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 254 |
> |
In addition to the $P_2$ order parameter, $ R_{2,2}^2$ order |
| 255 |
> |
parameter for biaxial phase is introduced to describe the ordering |
| 256 |
> |
in the plane orthogonal to the director by |
| 257 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 258 |
> |
R_{2,2}^2 = \frac{1}{4}\left\langle {(x_i \cdot X)^2 - (x_i \cdot |
| 259 |
> |
Y)^2 - (y_i \cdot X)^2 + (y_i \cdot Y)^2 } \right\rangle |
| 260 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 261 |
> |
where $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ are axis of the director frame. |

It is more important to show the density correlation along the |

As a useful set of correlation functions to describe |
| 276 |

position-orientation correlation, rotation invariants were first |
| 277 |
> |
applied in a spherical symmetric system to study x-ray and light |
| 278 |

scatting\cite{Blum1972}. Latterly, expansion of the orientation pair |
| 279 |
> |
correlation in terms of rotation invariant for molecules of |
| 280 |
> |
arbitrary shape was introduce by Stone\cite{Stone1978} and adopted |
| 281 |

by other researchers in liquid crystal studies\cite{Berardi2003}. |
