Chiral liquid crystal colloids
Ye Yuan, Angel Martinez, Bohdan Senyuk +2
Colloidal particles disturb the alignment of rod-like molecules of liquid crystals, giving rise to long-range interactions that minimize the free energy of distorted regions. Parti…
Repulsion-attraction switching of nematic colloids formed by liquid crystal dispersions of polygonal prisms
Bohdan Senyuk, Qingkun Liu, Philip D. Nystrom +1
Self-assembly of colloidal particles due to elastic interactions in nematic liquid crystals promises tunable composite materials and can be guided by exploiting surface functionali…
Liquid Crystal Colloids
Ivan I. Smalyukh
Colloids are abundant in nature, science and technology, with examples ranging from milk to quantum dots and the "colloidal atom" paradigm. Similarly, liquid crystal ordering is im…
Collective behavior of active topological solitons, knotted streamlines, and transport of cargo in liquid crystals
Hayley R. O. Sohn, Paul J. Ackerman, Timothy J. Boyle +3
Active colloids and liquid crystals are capable of locally converting the macroscopically-supplied energy into directional motion and promise a host of new applications, ranging fr…
Reversal of Helicoidal Twist Handedness Near Point Defects of Confined Chiral Liquid Crystals
P. J. Ackerman, I. I. Smalyukh
Handedness of the director twist in cholesteric liquid crystals is commonly assumed to be the same throughout the medium, determined solely by the chirality of constituent molecule…
Electric Switching of Fluorescence Decay in Gold-Silica-Dye Nematic Nanocolloids Mediated by Surface Plasmons
Li Jiang, Haridas Mundoor, Qingkun Liu +1
Tunable composite materials with interesting physical behavior can be designed through integrating unique optical properties of solid nanostructures with the facile responses of so…
Optical manipulation of shape-morphing elastomeric liquid crystal microparticles doped with gold nanocrystals
Yaoran Sun, Julian S. Evans, Taewoo Lee +4
We demonstrate facile optical manipulation of shape of birefringent colloidal microparticles made from liquid crystal elastomers. Using soft lithography and polymerization, we fabr…
Optical patterning of magnetic domains and defects in ferromagnetic liquid crystal colloids
Andrew J. Hess, Qingkun Liu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
A promising approach in designing composite materials with unusual physical behavior combines solid nanostructures and orientationally ordered soft matter at the mesoscale. Such co…
Mesostructured composite materials with electrically tunable upconversion properties
Haridas Mundoor, Ivan I Smalyukh
A promising approach of designing mesostructured materials with novel physical behavior is to combine unique optical and electronic properties of solid nanoparticles with long-rang…
