Теоретически исследовать индуцированный внешним магнитным полем оптический отклик компенсированных суспензий ферромагнитных углеродных нанотрубок в нематическом жидком кристалле.Методы. Задача решалась в рамках континуальной теории, в основе которой лежит функционал свободной энергии. Для описания ориентационной структуры жидкого кристалла и примесных ферромагнитных углеродных нанотрубок использовались две векторные величины – директоры, задающие направления преимущественной ориентации длинных осей молекул и нанотрубок. Так как в работе рассматривалась компенсированная суспензия, представляющая собой жидкокристаллический аналог антиферромагнетика, то дополнительно учитывались две равные объемные доли нанотрубок с магнитными моментами, направленными параллельно и антипараллельно директору жидкого кристалла. Таким образом, свободная энергия суспензии является функционалом относительно двух векторных и двух скалярных величин. Равновесные состояния системы определялись из условия минимума свободной энергии, в результате чего была получена система интегродифференциальных уравнений, которую удалось проинтегрировать. Численное решение итоговой системы уравнений осуществлялось с помощью метода многомерных секущих. Интегрирование проводилось с помощью метода Симпсона.Результаты. Получена система интегральных уравнений ориентационного и магнитного равновесия компенсированной жидкокристаллической суспензии ферромагнитных углеродных нанотрубок. Для разных значений магнитного поля рассчитана оптическая разность фаз (фазовая задержка) между обыкновенным и необыкновенным лучами монохроматического света, прошедшего через плоскопараллельную ячейку с суспензией.Вывод. Примесные углеродные нанотрубки, которые дополнительно наполнены или ковалентно функционализированы магнитными частицами, способны существенно усилить магнитоориентационный отклик нематической матрицы по сравнению с беспримесным жидким кристаллом. Это позволяет сделать прогноз о потенциальной возможности использования жидкокристаллических суспензий ферромагнитных углеродных нанотрубок в магнитооптических устройствах. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Purpose. To theoretically investigate the optical response of compensated suspensions of ferromagnetic carbon nanotubes in a nematic liquid crystal induced by an external magnetic field.Methods. The problem was solved within the framework of the continuum theory, which is based on the free energy functional. To describe the orientational structure of the liquid crystal and the impurity ferromagnetic carbon nanotubes, two vector quantities were used, i.e. directors, which specify the directions of the preferred orientation of the long axes of the molecules and nanotubes. Since the work considered a compensated suspension, which is a liquid crystal analogue of an antiferromagnet, two equal volume fractions of nanotubes with magnetic moments directed parallel and antiparallel to the director of the liquid crystal were additionally taken into account. Thus, the free energy of the suspension is a functional with respect to two vector and two scalar quantities. The equilibrium states of the system were determined from the condition of minimum free energy, as a result of which a system of integro-differential equations was obtained, which could be integrated. The numerical solution of the final system of equations was carried out using the multidimensional secant method. Integration was carried out using the Simpson method.Results. A system of integral equations of orientational and magnetic equilibrium of a compensated liquid-crystal suspension of ferromagnetic carbon nanotubes was obtained. For different values of the magnetic field, the optical phase difference (phase lag) between ordinary and extraordinary beams of monochromatic light passed through a planeparallel cell with the suspension was calculated.Conclusion. Impurity carbon nanotubes, which are additionally filled or covalently functionalized with magnetic particles, are capable of significantly enhancing the magneto-orientational response of the nematic matrix compared to a pure liquid crystal. This allows us to make a prediction about the potential use of liquid crystal suspensions of ferromagnetic carbon nanotubes in magneto-optical devices.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Жидкий кристалл</kwd><kwd>ферромагнитные углеродные нанотрубки</kwd><kwd>магнитное поле</kwd><kwd>переход Фредерикса</kwd><kwd>оптическая фазовая задержка</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>liquid crystal</kwd><kwd>ferromagnetic carbon nanotubes</kwd><kwd>magnetic field</kwd><kwd>Fréedericksz transition</kwd><kwd>optical phase lag</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено при частичной финансовой поддержке Министерства науки и высшего образования Российской Федерации (проект № FSNF-2024-0001)</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was partially supported by Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (Project No. FSNF-2024-0001).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Development of liquid crystal displays and related improvements to their performances / S.
