Softening of Granular Packings with Dynamic Forcing
C. J. Olson Reichhardt, L. M. Lopatina, X. Jia +1
We perform numerical simulations of a two-dimensional bidisperse granular packing subjected to both a static confining pressure and a sinusoidal dynamic forcing applied by a wall o…
Polymer-disordered liquid crystals: Susceptibility to electric field
Lena M. Lopatina, Jonathan V. Selinger
When nematic liquid crystals are embedded in random polymer networks, the disordered environment disrupts the long-range order, producing a glassy state. If an electric field is ap…
Domain and Stripe Formation Between Hexagonal and Square Ordered Fillings of Colloidal Particles on Periodic Pinning Substrates
D. McDermott, J. Amelang, L. M. Lopatina +2
Using large scale numerical simulations, we examine the ordering of colloidal particles on square periodic two-dimensional muffin-tin substrates consisting of a flat surface with l…
Maier-Saupe-type theory of ferroelectric nanoparticles in nematic liquid crystals
Lena M. Lopatina, Jonathan V. Selinger
Several experiments have reported that ferroelectric nanoparticles have drastic effects on nematic liquid crystals--increasing the isotropic-nematic transition temperature by about…
Theory of Ferroelectric Nanoparticles in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Lena M. Lopatina, Jonathan V. Selinger
Recent experiments have reported that ferroelectric nanoparticles have drastic effects on nematic liquid crystals--increasing the isotropic-nematic transition temperature by about…
