Electric field induced inversion of the sign of half-integer disclinations in 2D nematic liquid crystals
P. P. Avelino, F. Moraes, J. C. R. E. Oliveira +1
We study the effect of the rotation of an external electric field on the dynamics of half-integer disclination networks in two dimensional nematic liquid crystals with a negative d…
The role of domain wall junctions in Carter's pentahedral model
P. P. Avelino, J. C. R. E. Oliveira, R. Menezes +1
The role of domain wall junctions in Carter's pentahedral model is investigated both analytically and numerically. We perform, for the first time, field theory simulations of such…
Dynamics of domain wall networks with junctions
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. Menezes +2
We use a combination of analytic tools and an extensive set of the largest and most accurate three-dimensional field theory numerical simulations to study the dynamics of domain wa…
Generalized Global Defect Solutions
D. Bazeia, L. Losano, R. Menezes +1
We investigate the presence of defect structures in generalized models described by real scalar field in space-time dimensions. We work with two distinct generalizations, o…
Scaling of cosmological domain wall networks with junctions
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. Menezes +2
We describe the results of the largest and most accurate three-dimensional field theory simulations of domain wall networks with junctions. We consider a previously introduced clas…
Defect Junctions and Domain Wall Dynamics
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. Menezes +2
We study a number of domain wall forming models where various types of defect junctions can exist. These illustrate some of the mechanisms that will determine the evolution of defe…
