Structural Landscapes in Geometrically Frustrated Smectics
Jingmin Xia, Scott MacLachlan, Timothy J. Atherton +1
A phenomenological free energy model is proposed to describe the behavior of smectic liquid crystals, an intermediate phase that exhibits orientational order and layering at the mo…

Computing equilibrium states of cholesteric liquid crystals in elliptical channels with deflation algorithms
David B. Emerson, Patrick E. Farrell, James H. Adler +2
We study the problem of a cholesteric liquid crystal confined to an elliptical channel. The system is geometrically frustrated because the cholesteric prefers to adopt a uniform ra…
