Self-assembly of Freely-rotating Polydisperse Cuboids: Unveiling the Boundaries of the Biaxial Nematic Phase
Effran Mirzad Rafael, Daniel Corbett, Alejandro Cuetos +1
Colloidal cuboids have the potential to self-assemble into biaxial liquid crystal phases, which exhibit two independent optical axes. Over the last few decades, several theoretical…

Biaxial Nematics of Hard Cuboids in an External Field
Alejandro Cuetos, Effran Mirzad Rafael, Daniel Corbett +1
We investigate the phase behavior of colloidal suspensions of board-like particles under the effect of an external field and assess the still disputed occurrence of the biaxial nem…
