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…
Geometrical control of active turbulence in curved topographies
D. J. G. Pearce, Perry W. Ellis, Alberto Fernandez-Nieves +1
We investigate the turbulent dynamics of a two-dimensional active nematic liquid crystal con- strained on a curved surface. Using a combination of hydrodynamic and particle-based s…
Stable nematic droplets with handles
E. Pairam, J. Vallamkondu, V. Koning +5
We stabilize nematic droplets with handles against surface-tension-driven instabilities using a yield-stress material as outer fluid and study the complex nematic textures and defe…
