Liquid Crystal Ground States on Hyperbolic Cones
Cheng Long, David R. Nelson
We generalize the analytic theory and simulation models for liquid crystal ground states on conventional cones with positive apex Gaussian curvature and study liquid crystal ground…

Liquid Crystal Ground States on Cones with Anti-Twist Boundary Conditions
Cheng Long, David R. Nelson
Geometry and topology play a fundamental role in determining pattern formation on 2D surfaces in condensed matter physics. For example, local positive Gaussian curvature of a 2D su…

Violation of Ericksen inequalities in lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals
Cheng Long, Jonathan V. Selinger
By analyzing elastic theory for nematic liquid crystals, we distinguish three regimes of elastic constants. In one regime, the Ericksen inequalities are satisfied, and the ground s…
