First order alignment transition in an interfaced active nematic
Olga Bantysh, Jyothishraj Nambisan, Berta Martínez-Prat +3
We investigate experimentally the dynamic phase transition of a two-dimensional active nematic layer interfaced with a passive liquid crystal. Under a temperature ramp that leads t…
Physically-informed data-driven modeling of active nematics
Matthew Golden, Roman Grigoriev, Jyothishraj Nambisan +1
A continuum description is essential for understanding a variety of collective phenomena in active matter. However, building quantitative continuum models of active matter from fir…
Orientational correlations in active and passive nematic defects
D. J. G. Pearce, J. Nambisan, P. W. Ellis +2
We investigate the emergence of orientational order among +1/2 disclinations in active nematic liquid crystals. Using a combination of theoretical and experimental methods, we show…
Phases and excitations of active rod-bead mixtures: simulations and experiments
Harsh Soni, Nitin Kumar, Jyothishraj Nambisan +3
We present a large-scale numerical study, supplemented by experimental observations, of a quasi-two-dimensional active system of polar rods and spherical beads confined between two…
