Landau-de Gennes numerical simulation of nematic liquid crystals utilizing radial basis functions
Jin-Sheng Wu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Numerical simulations based on radial basis functions have been developed for systems with complex geometries and have been successfully applied across various fields, including se…
Emergent dimer-model topological order and quasi-particle excitations in liquid crystals: combinatorial vortex lattices
Cuiling Meng, Jin-Sheng Wu, Žiga Kos +3
Liquid crystals have proven to provide a versatile experimental and theoretical platform for studying topological objects such as vortices, skyrmions, and hopfions. In parallel, in…
Topological Rigidity and Non-Abelian defect junctions in chiral nematic systems with effective biaxial symmetry
Jin-Sheng Wu, Roberto Abril Valenzuela, Mark J. Bowick +1
We study topologically stable defect structures in systems where the defect line classification in three dimensions and associated algebra of interactions (the fundamental group) a…
Out-of-equilibrium interactions and collective locomotion of colloidal spheres with squirming of nematoelastic multipoles
Bohdan Senyuk, Jin-Sheng Wua, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Many living and artificial systems show a similar emergent behavior and collective motions on different scales, starting from swarms of bacteria to synthetic active particles, herd…
Field-controlled dynamics of skyrmions and monopoles
Jung-Shen B. Tai, Andrew J. Hess, Jin-Sheng Wu +1
Magnetic monopoles, despite their ongoing experimental search as elementary particles, have inspired the discovery of analogous excitations in condensed matter systems. In chiral c…
Unavoidable emergent biaxiality in chiral molecular-colloidal hybrid liquid crystals
Jin-Sheng Wu, Marina Torres Lazaro, Souvik Ghosh +3
Chiral nematic or cholesteric liquid crystals (LCs) are mesophases with long-ranged orientational order featuring a quasi-layered periodicity imparted by a helical configuration bu…
Review: Topology of solitons and singular defects in chiral liquid crystals
Jin-Sheng Wu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Widely known for their uses in displays and electro-optics, liquid crystals are more than just technological marvels. They vividly reveal the topology and structure of various soli…
Geometric transformation and three-dimensional hopping of Hopf solitons
Jung-Shen B. Tai, Jin-Sheng Wu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
3D topological solitons are marvels of mathematical physics that arise in theoretical models in elementary particle and nuclear physics, condensed matter, and cosmology. A particul…
