Nematic-isotropic transition in a density-functional theory for hard spheroidal colloids
Eduardo dos S. Nascimento
We introduce a density-functional formalism based on the Parsons-Lee and the generalized van der Waals theories in order to describe the thermodynamics of anisotropic particle syst…
Theory of defect motion in 2D passive and active nematic liquid crystals
Xingzhou Tang, Jonathan V. Selinger
The motion of topological defects is an important feature of the dynamics of all liquid crystals, and is especially conspicuous in active liquid crystals. Understanding defect moti…
Sorting and separation of microparticles by surface properties using liquid crystal-enabled electro-osmosis
Chenhui Peng, Taras Turiv, Yubing Guo +2
Sorting and separation of microparticles is a challenging problem of interdisciplinary nature. Existing technologies can differentiate microparticles by their bulk properties, such…
Electrically driven dynamic three-dimensional solitons in nematic liquid crystals
Bing-Xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Rui-Lin Xiao +4
Electric field induced collective reorientation of nematic molecules placed between two flat parallel electrodes is of importance for both fundamental science and practical applica…
Contributions of Repulsive and Attractive Interactions to Nematic Order
Peter Palffy-Muhoray, Jamie M. Taylor, Epifanio G. Virga +1
Both repulsive and attractive molecular interactions can be used to explain the onset of nematic order. The object of this paper is to combine these two nematogenic molecular inter…
Tuning selective reflection of light by surface anchoring in cholesteric cells with oblique helicoidal structures
Olena S. Iadlovska, Graham R. Maxwell, Greta Babakhanova +4
Selective reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) can be tuned in a very broad spectral range by an applied electric field. In this work, we demonstrate that t…
Enhanced nanosecond electro-optic effect in isotropic and nematic phases of dielectrically negative nematics doped by strongly polar additive
Bing-Xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Hao Wang +3
An electric field can induce or modify optical birefringence in both the isotropic and nematic phases of liquid crystals (LCs). In the isotropic phase, the electric field induces b…
Liquid crystal elastomer coatings with programmed response of surface profile
Greta Babakhanova, Taras Turiv, Yubing Guo +5
Stimuli-responsive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with a strong coupling of orientational molecular order and rubber-like elasticity, show a great potential as working elements i…
