Pattern formation in a coupled driven diffusive system
G. E. Freire Oliveira, R. Dickman, M. O. Lavrentovich +1
We investigate pattern formation in a driven mixture of two repulsive particles by introducing a Field-based Lattice Model (FLM), a hybrid model that combines aspects of the driven…
Twist, splay, and uniform domains in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Maxim O. Lavrentovich, Priyanka Kumari, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
The newly-discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal exhibits a variety of unique defect phenomena. The depolarization field in the material favors spontaneous spatial variati…
Trapping of isotropic droplets by disclinations in nematic liquid crystals controlled by surface anchoring and elastic constant disparity
Nilanthi P. Haputhanthrige, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Maxim O. Lavrentovich +1
Linear defects such as dislocations and disclinations in ordered materials attract foreign particles since they replace strong elastic distortions at the defect cores. In this work…
Chiral ground states of ferroelectric liquid crystals
Priyanka Kumari, Bijaya Basnet, Maxim O. Lavrentovich +1
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are formed by achiral molecules with large dipole moments. Its three-dimensional orientational order is universally described as unidirectiona…
