Stability Against the Odds: the Case of Chromonic Liquid Crystals
Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga
The ground state of chromonic liquid crystals, as revealed by a number of recent experiments, is quite different from that of ordinary nematic liquid crystals: it is twisted instea…

Shape Bistability in Squeezed Chromonic Droplets
Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga
We study droplets of chromonic liquid crystals squeezed between parallel plates inducing degenerate tangential anchoring on the nematic director. In the coexistence regime, where d…

Nematic Tactoid Population
Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga
Tactoids are pointed, spindle-like droplets of nematic liquid crystal in an isotropic fluid. They have long been observed in inorganic and organic nematics, in thermotropic phases…
