Trapping of isotropic droplets by disclinations in nematic liquid crystals controlled by surface anchoring and elastic constant disparity
Nilanthi P. Haputhanthrige, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Maxim O. Lavrentovich +1
Linear defects such as dislocations and disclinations in ordered materials attract foreign particles since they replace strong elastic distortions at the defect cores. In this work…

Chiral ground states of ferroelectric liquid crystals
Priyanka Kumari, Bijaya Basnet, Maxim O. Lavrentovich +1
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are formed by achiral molecules with large dipole moments. Its three-dimensional orientational order is universally described as unidirectiona…
