Directional Swimming of B. Subtilis Bacteria Near a Switchable Polar Surface
Mahesha Kodithuwakku Arachchige, Zakaria Siddiquee, Hend Baza +3
The dynamics of swimming bacteria depend on the properties of their habitat media. Recently it was shown that the motion of swimming bacteria dispersed directly in a non-toxic wate…
Effects of Photopatterning Conditions on Azimuthal Surface Anchoring Strength
Nilanthi P. Haputhanthrige, Mojtaba Rajabi, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
Spatially varying alignment of liquid crystals is essential for research and applications. One widely used method is based on the photopatterning of thin layers of azo-dye molecule…
Microsecond electro-optic switching in the nematic phase of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
Kamal Thapa, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
Nematic liquid crystals exhibit nanosecond electro-optic response to an applied electric field which modifies the degree of orientational order without realigning the molecular ori…
Anomalous behavior of electric-field Fréedericksz transitions
Eugene C. Gartland
Fréedericksz transitions in nematic liquid crystals are re-examined with a focus on differences between systems with magnetic fields and those with electric fields. A magnetic fiel…
Flexoelectricity versus Electrostatics in Polar Nematic Liquid Crystals
Lincoln Paik, Jonathan V. Selinger
Polar nematic liquid crystals have two special features, compared with conventional nematic liquid crystals. First, because of flexoelectricity, the combination of polar order and…
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…
Splay-bend elastic inequalities shape tactoids, toroids, umbilics, and conic section walls in paraelectric, twist-bend, and ferroelectric nematics
Oleg D. Lavrentovich
Elastic constants of splay K_11, twist K_22, and bend K_33 of nematic liquid crystals are often assumed to be equal to each other in order to simplify the theoretical description o…
Polar self-organization of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal molecules on atomically flat Au(111) surface
Alexandr A. Marchenko, Oleksiy L. Kapitanchuk, Yaroslava Yu. Lopatina +5
Understanding nanoscale mechanisms responsible for the recently discovered ferroelectric nematics can be helped by direct visualization of self-assembly of strongly polar molecules…
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…
