Electrophoresis of metal-dielectric Janus particles with dipolar director symmetry in nematic liquid crystals
Dinesh Kumar Sahu, Surajit Dhara
We study electrophoretic mobility of metal-dielectric Janus particles with dipolar director profile in two nematic liquid crystals (LCs) having same (positive) conductivity anisotr…
Dynamics of a sheared twist bend nematic liquid crystal
M. Praveen Kumar, Jakub Karcz, Przemyslaw Kula +1
We study the flow behaviour of a twist-bend nematic liquid crystal. It shows three distinct shear stress () responses in a certain range of temperatures and shear rat…
Topological phase transitions in 2-dimensional bent-core liquid crystal models
B. Kamala Latha, Surajit Dhara, V. S. S. Sastry
Spontaneous onset of a low temperature topologically ordered phase in a 2-dimensional (2D) lattice model of uniaxial liquid crystal (LC) was debated extensively pointing to a suspe…
Electric field driven controllable motility of metal-dielectric Janus particles with boojum defects in a nematic liquid crystal
Dinesh Kumar Sahu, Surajit Dhara
In a sharp contrast to the response of silica particles we show that the metal-dielectric Janus particles with boojum defects in a nematic liquid crystal are self-propelled under t…
Interactions of charged microrods in chiral nematic liquid crystals
Muhammed Rasi M, Ravi Kumar Pujala, Sathyanarayana Paladugu +1
We study the pair interaction of charged silica microrods in chiral nematic liquid crystals and show that the microrods with homeotropic surface anchoring form a bound state due to…
