Interaction energies in paranematic colloids
Dmitry Golovaty, Jamie Taylor, Raghavendra Venkatraman +1
We consider a system of colloidal particles embedded in a paranematic -- an isotropic phase of a nematogenic medium above the temperature of the nematic-to-isotropic transition. In…
Topological transformations of a nematic drop
Runa Koizumi, Dmitry Golovaty, Ali Alqarni +3
Morphogenesis of living systems involves topological shape transformations which are highly unusual in the inanimate world. Here we demonstrate that a droplet of a nematic liquid c…
Tetrahedral frame fields via constrained third order symmetric tensors
Dmitry Golovaty, Matthias Kurzke, Jose Alberto Montero +1
Tetrahedral frame fields have applications to certain classes of nematic liquid crystals and frustrated media. We consider the problem of constructing a tetrahedral frame field in…
A Discrete-to-Continuum Model of Weakly Interacting Incommensurate Two-Dimensional Lattices: The hexagonal case
Malena I. Espanol, Dmitry Golovaty, J. Patrick Wilber
In this paper, we extend the discrete-to-continuum procedure we developed in our previous work to derive a continuum variational model for a hexagonal twisted bilayer material in w…
Toroidal nuclei of columnar lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals coexisting with isotropic phase
Runa Koizumi, Dmitry Golovaty, Ali Alqarni +4
Nuclei of ordered materials emerging from the isotropic state usually show a shape topologically equivalent to a sphere; the well-known examples are crystals and nematic liquid cry…
Refined Asymptotics for Landau-de Gennes Minimizers on Planar Domains
Dmitry Golovaty, Jose Alberto Montero
In our previous work,, we studied asymptotic behavior of minimizers of the Landau-de Gennes energy functional on planar domains as the nematic correlation length converges to zero.…
