Nonlinear electrophoresis of dielectric and metal spheres in a nematic liquid crystal
Oleg D. Lavrentovich, Israel Lazo, Oleg P. Pishnyak
Electrophoresis is a motion of charged dispersed particles relative to a fluid in a uniform electric field. The effect is widely used to separate macromolecules, to assemble colloi…
Inelastic collisions and anisotropic aggregation of particles in a nematic collider driven by backflow
Oleg P. Pishnyak, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
We design a nematic collider for controlled out-of-equilibrium anisotropic aggregation of spherical colloidal particles. The nematic surrounding imparts dipolar interactions among…
Effect of Director Distortions on Polymer-Liquid Crystal Phase Separation
D. Voloschenko, O. P. Pishnyak, S. V. Shiyanovskii +1
We study photopolymerization in a low-molecular weight liquid crystal with non-uniform director gradients. Phase separation results in spatially non-uniform distribution of polymer…
