Stability of Texture and Shape of Circular Domains of Langmuir Monolayers
David Pettey, T. C. Lubensky
Finite domains of a Langmuir monolayer in a phase with tilted molecules can be modeled by a simple elastic free energy of an XY order parameter with isotropic and anisotropic line…

Topological Inclusions in 2D Smectic-C Films
David Pettey, T. C. Lubensky, Darren Link
In thin films of smectic-C liquid crystals, localized regions containing additional smectic layers form circular inclusions that carry a topological charge. Such inclusions nucleat…

Topological Defects and Interactions in Nematic Emulsions
T. C. Lubensky, David Pettey, Nathan Currier +1
Inverse nematic emulsions in which surfactant-coated water droplets are dispersed in a nematic host fluid have distinctive properties that set them apart from dispersions of two is…
