We describe the experimental observation of a crystal structure formed by glycerol droplets suspended in a nematic liquid crystal. The structure exhibits a high density hexagonal ordering. We have experimentally observed a noticeable interaction between droplets with tangential boundary conditions. Within the scope of known models we discuss the nature of appropriate mechanisms of the interaction.
我们描述了由悬浮在向列型液晶中的甘油液滴形成的晶体结构的实验观察结果。该结构呈现出高密度的六边形排列。我们通过实验观察到具有切向边界条件的液滴之间存在明显的相互作用。在已知模型的范围内,我们讨论了这种相互作用的适当机制的本质。
