Topological Defects in Spherical Nematics
Homin Shin, Mark J. Bowick, Xiangjun Xing
We study the organization of topological defects in a system of nematogens confined to the two-dimensional sphere (S^2). We first perform Monte Carlo simulations of a fluid system…

Bubble Raft Model for a Paraboloidal Crystal
Mark J. Bowick, Luca Giomi, Homin Shin +1
We investigate crystalline order on a two-dimensional paraboloid of revolution by assembling a single layer of millimeter-sized soap bubbles on the surface of a rotating liquid, th…

Dynamics and Instabilities of Defects in Two-Dimensional Crystals on Curved Backgrounds
Mark Bowick, Homin Shin, Alex Travesset
Point defects are ubiquitous in two dimensional crystals and play a fundamental role in determining their mechanical and thermodynamical properties. When crystals are formed on a c…
