Properties of surface Landau-de Gennes Q-tensor models
Michael Nestler, Ingo Nitschke, Hartmut Löwen +1
Uniaxial nematic liquid crystals whose molecular orientation is subjected to a tangential anchoring on a curved surface offer a non trivial interplay between the geometry and the t…
Liquid Crystals on Deformable Surfaces
Ingo Nitschke, Sebastian Reuther, Axel Voigt
Liquid crystals with molecules constrained to the tangent bundle of a curved surface show interesting phenomena resulting from the tight coupling of the elastic and bulk free energ…
Comment on Geometrical Control of Active Turbulence in Curved Topographies
Ingo Nitschke, Sebastian Reuther, Axel Voigt
In the recent letter Pearce et. al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 168002 (2019) the authors investigate the turbulent dynamics of a two-dimensional active nematic liquid crystal which is c…
