Orientational transition in nanobridges of nematic liquid crystals in slit pores
J. M. Romero-Enrique
In this work, the morphology of nematic capillary nanobridges in slit pores separated by a vertical distance will be characterised by Monte Carlo simulations for oblate molecul…
Pattern-induced anchoring transitions in nematic liquid crystals
Oscar A. Rojas-Gomez, Jose M. Romero-Enrique, Nuno M. Silvestre +1
In this paper we revisit the problem of a nematic liquid crystal in contact with patterned substrates. The substrate is modelled as a periodic array of parallel infinite grooves of…
Nematic liquid crystals on sinusoidal channels: the zigzag instability
Nuno M. Silvestre, Jose M. Romero-Enrique, Margarida M. Telo da Gama
Substrates which are chemically or topographically patterned induce a variety of liquid crystal textures. The response of the liquid crystal to competing surface orientations, typi…
Filling and wetting transitions on sinusoidal substrates: a mean-field study of the Landau-Ginzburg model
Alvaro Rodriguez-Rivas, Jose Antonio Galvan Moreno, Jose M. Romero-Enrique
We study the interfacial phenomenology of a fluid in contact with a microstructured substrate within the mean-field approximation. The sculpted substrate is a one-dimensional array…
