Acousto-microfluidic Control of Liquid Crystals
Gustavo A. Vasquez-Montoya, Tadej Emersic, Noe Atzin +7
The optical properties of liquid crystals serve as the basis for display, diagnostic, and sensing technologies. Such properties are generally controlled by relying on electric fiel…
Generation and propagation of solitary waves in nematic liquid crystals
Xingzhou Tang, Ali Mozaffari, Noe Atzin +3
Solitons in nematic liquid crystals offer intriguing opportunities for transport and sensing in microfluidic systems. Little is known about the elementary conditions that are neede…
A minimal model of solitons in nematic liquid crystals
Noe Atzin, Ali Mozaffari, Xingzhou Tang +3
Solitons in liquid crystals have generated considerable interest. Several hypotheses of varying complexity have been advanced to explain how they emerge, and a consensus has not em…
Defect Spirograph: Dynamical Behavior of Defects in Spatially Patterned Active Nematics
Ali Mozaffari, Rui Zhang, Noe Atzin +1
Topological defects in active liquid crystals can be confined by introducing gradients of activity. Here, we examine the dynamical behavior of two defects confined by a sharp gradi…
Structural Transitions in Fibers of Bent-Core Liquid Crystals from Field-Theory Monte Carlo Simulations
N. Atzin, O. Guzmán, J. J. de Pablo
Fibers of bent-core liquid crystals present an internal structure of a rolled smectic layer and can be used as optical waveguides. We used a field-theoretical Monte Carlo simulatio…
