Three-dimensional modeling of chiral nematic texture evolution under electric switching
Vianney Gimenez-Pinto, Sajedeh Afghah, Robin L. B. Selinger
Chiral nematic liquid crystals exhibit both a helical planar ground state with uniform twist and a metastable defect-rich focal conic texture, and can be switched between the two m…
Dynamics and Patterning of Screw Dislocations in Two Dimensions
Robin L. B. Selinger, Brian B. Smith, Wei-Dong Luo
To understand how dislocations form ordered structures during the deformation of metals, we perform computer simulation studies of the dynamics and patterning of screw dislocations…
Fingering Instability of Dislocations and Related Defects
Ming Li, Brian B. Smith, Robin L. B. Selinger
We identify a fundamental morphological instability of mobile dislocations in crystals and related line defects. A positive gradient in the local driving force along the direction…
