Abstract

• Using an atomic force microscopy, we have measured the separation dependence of the force between an atomically flat mica sheet and a micrometer-sized glass sphere immersed in the nematic liquid crystal. As the mica surface induces a strong parallel alignment and the treated glass sphere induces a strong perpendicular alignment on the liquid crystal, a repulsive force is observed due to the elastically deformed nematic liquid crystal. We observe that below a critical separation d(th) approximate to 10 nm, the system undergoes a structural transition, thus relaxing the distortion. The results are interpreted within the eigenvalue exchange mechanism using the Landau-de Gennes tensorial approach (literal)
