Coarse-Grained Modeling of a Deformable Nematic Vesicle

Jun Geng, Jonathan V. Selinger, Robin L. B. Selinger

We develop a coarse-grained particle-based model to simulate membranes with nematic liquid-crystal order. The coarse-grained particles form vesicles which, at low temperature, have…

Deformation of an asymmetric thin film

Jun Geng, Jonathan V. Selinger

Experiments have investigated shape changes of polymer films induced by asymmetric swelling by a chemical vapor. Inspired by recent work on the shaping of elastic sheets by non-Euc…

Maier-Saupe-type theory of ferroelectric nanoparticles in nematic liquid crystals

Lena M. Lopatina, Jonathan V. Selinger

Several experiments have reported that ferroelectric nanoparticles have drastic effects on nematic liquid crystals--increasing the isotropic-nematic transition temperature by about…

Condensation of Self-assembled Lyotropic Chromonic Liquid Crystal Sunset Yellow in Aqueous Solutions Crowded with Polyethylene glycol and Doped with Salt

Heung-Shik Park, Shin-Woong Kang, Luana Tortora +2

We use optical and fluorescence microscopy, densitometry, cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), spectroscopy, and synchrotron X-ray scattering, to study the phase behav…

Electro-Optic Effects in Colloidal Dispersion of Metal Nano-Rods in Dielectric Fluid

Andrii B. Golovin, Jie Xiang, Heung-Shik ParkLuana Tortora +3

In modern transformation optics, one explores metamaterials with properties that vary from point to point in space and time, suitable for applications in devices such as an "optica…

Nonlinear electrophoresis of dielectric and metal spheres in a nematic liquid crystal

Oleg D. Lavrentovich, Israel Lazo, Oleg P. Pishnyak

Electrophoresis is a motion of charged dispersed particles relative to a fluid in a uniform electric field. The effect is widely used to separate macromolecules, to assemble colloi…
