Light Scattering by Cholesteric Skyrmions
G. De Matteis, D. Delle Side, L. Martina +1
We study the light scattering by localized quasi planar excitations of a Cholesteric Liquid Crystal known as spherulites. Due to the anisotropic optical properties of the medium an…

Exact equations of state for nematics
Francesco Giglio, Giovanni De Matteis, Antonio Moro
We propose a novel approach to the solution of nematic Liquid Crystal models based on the derivation of a system of nonlinear wave equations for order parameters such that the occu…
