Achiral symmetry breaking and positive Gaussian modulus lead to scalloped colloidal membranes
Thomas Gibaud, C. Nadir Kaplan, Prerna Sharma +7
In the presence of a non-adsorbing polymer, monodisperse rod-like particles assemble into colloidal membranes, which are one rod-length thick liquid-like monolayers of aligned rods…
Chiral smectic A membranes: Unified theory of free edge structure and twist walls
C. Nadir Kaplan, Robert B. Meyer
Monodisperse suspensions of rodlike chiral viruses are condensed into a rod-length thick colloidal monolayers of aligned rods by depletion forces. Twist deformations of the mo…
Intrinsic curvature determines the crinkled edges of "crenellated disks"
C. Nadir Kaplan, Thomas Gibaud, Robert B. Meyer
Elastic curvature constants determine many structural and functional properties of fluid membranes. Methods to measure the mean curvature modulus have proved to be robust. In contr…
Theory of depletion induced phase transition from chiral smectic A twisted ribbons to semi-infinite flat membranes
C. Nadir Kaplan, Hao Tu, Robert A. Pelcovits +1
We consider a theoretical model for the chiral smectic A twisted ribbons observed in assemblies of fd viruses condensed by depletion forces. The depletion interaction is modeled by…
Self-limited self-assembly of chiral filaments
Yasheng Yang, Robert B. Meyer, Michael F. Hagan
The assembly of filamentous bundles with controlled diameters is common in biological systems and desirable for the development of nanomaterials. We discuss dynamical simulations a…
Buckling transition of nematic gels in confined geometry
Guangnan Meng, Robert B. Meyer
A spontaneous buckling transition in thin layers of monodomain nematic liquid crystalline gel was observed by polarized light microscopy. The coupling between the orientational ord…
