Incorporation of the intensive and extensive entropy contributions in the disk intersection theory of a hard disk system
V. M. Pergamenshchik
The one-body free volume, which determines the entropy of a hard disk system, has extensive (cavity) and intensive (cell) contributions. So far these contributions have not been un…
Colloidal Directional Structures at a Nematic Liquid Crystal-Air Interface
Nan Wang, Julian Evans, Chenxi Li +2
We present a variety of structures formed by colloidal droplets at a nematic liquid crystal-air interface, where the elastic dipole-dipole, quadrupole-quadrupole, and dipole-quadru…
Analytical canonical partition function of a quasi-one dimensional system of hard disks
V. M. Pergamenshchik
The exact canonical partition function of a hard disk system in a narrow quasi-one dimensional pore of given length and width is derived analytically in the thermodynamic limit. As…
Active shape-morphing elastomeric colloids in short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystals
Julian S. Evans, Yaoran Sun, Bohdan Senyuk +4
Active elastomeric liquid crystal particles with initial cylindrical shapes are obtained by means of soft lithography and polymerization in a strong magnetic field. Gold nanocrysta…
Interaction of the Torque-Induced Elastic Charge and Elastic Dipole with a Wall in a Nematic Liquid Crystal
V. M. Pergamenshchik, V. A. Uzunova
We show that the elastic charge of colloids in a nematic liquid crystal can be generated by the vector of external torque. The torque components play the role of two component char…
