Cooling a spherical nematic shell
Gaetano Napoli, Luigi Vergori
Within the framework of Landau-de Gennes theory for nematic liquid crystals, we study the temperature-induced isotropic-nematic phase transition on a spherical shell. Below a criti…

Nematic versus ferromagnetic shells: new insights in curvature-induced effects
Gaetano Napoli, Oleksandr V. Pylypovskyi, Denis D. Sheka +1
Within the framework of continuum theory, we draw a parallel between ferromagnetic materials and nematic liquid crystals confined on curved surfaces, which are both characterized b…
