Curvature-induced smectic-C order of tangentially anchored hard spherocylinders on a sphere with a rigidly locked director field
Jonathan Washburn, Hartmut Löwen, Elshad Allahyarov
We study the strict locked-orientation limit of hard spherocylinders on a sphere, in which the rod axes are rigidly locked to a prescribed tangential director field and cannot reor…

Electric field-induced clustering in nanocomposite films of highly polarizable inclusions
Elshad Allahyarov, Hartmut Löwen
A nanocomposite film containing highly polarizable inclusions in a fluid background is explored when an external electric field is applied perpendicular to the planar film. For sma…
