Effect of Electric Fields on the Director Field and Shape of Nematic Tactoids
Mohammadamin Safdari, Roya Zandi, Paul van der Schoot
Tactoids are spindle shaped-droplets of a uniaxial nematic phase suspended in the co-existing isotropic phase. They are found in dispersions of a wide variety of elongated colloida…
