One-dimensional ferronematics in a channel: order reconstruction, bifurcations and multistability

Abstract:

We study a model system with nematic and magnetic order, within a channel geometry modeled by an interval, $[-D, D]$. The system is characterized by a tensor-valued nematic order parameter ${{Q}}$ and a vector-valued magnetization ${{M}}$, and the observable states are modeled as stable critical points of an appropriately defined free energy which includes a nemato-magnetic coupling term, characterized by a parameter $c$. We (i) derive $L^\infty$ bounds for ${{Q}}$ and ${{M}}$; (ii) prove a u...
