Filling and wetting transitions of nematic liquid crystals on sinusoidal substrates
P. Patricio, N. M. Silvestre, C. -T. Pham +1
Close to sinusoidal substrates, simple fluids may undergo a filling transition, in which the fluid passes from a dry to a filled state, where the interface remains unbent but bound…

Scaling of the elastic contribution to the surface free energy of a nematic on a sawtoothed substrate
Jose Manuel Romero-Enrique, Chi-Tuong Pham, Pedro Patricio
We characterize the elastic contribution to the surface free energy of a nematic in presence of a sawtooth substrate. Our findings are based on numerical minimization of the Landau…
