夹在两个平行板之间的手性液晶已被证明表现出各种奇异的结构，包括斯格明子激发的六方晶格。在这里，我们重点关注六方斯格明子晶格的光学性质，并介绍基于光波麦克斯韦方程的直接数值求解的理论研究。具体来说，我们讨论了六方斯格明子晶格和其他类似于块状蓝相结构薄片的结构的科塞尔图和光学显微镜图像。
A chiral liquid crystal sandwiched by two parallel plates has been shown to exhibit various exotic structures including a hexagonal lattice of Skyrmion excitations. Here we focus on the optical properties of a hexagonal Skyrmion lattice and present our theoretical studies based on direct numerical solving of Maxwell equations for light waves. Specifically, we discuss Kossel diagrams and optical microscope images of a hexagonal Skyrmion lattice and other structures resembling a thin slice of a bulk blue phase structure.
