Elastic interactions between topological defects in chiral nematic shells
Alexandre Darmon, Olivier Dauchot, Teresa Lopez-Leon +1
We present a novel, self-consistent and robust theoretical model to investigate elastic interactions between topological defects in liquid crystal shells. Accounting for the non-co…

Topological defects in cholesteric liquid crystal shells
Alexandre Darmon, Michael Benzaquen, Simon Čopar +2
We investigate experimentally and numerically the defect configurations emerging when a cholesteric liquid crystal is confined to a spherical shell. We uncover a rich scenario of d…
