Arrested coalescence drives helical coiling and networking of filamentous smectic condensates
Christopher A. Browne, Paul G. Severino, Yvonne Zagzag +5
Liquid-liquid crystal phase separation (LLCPS) occurs in many industrial and biological settings. Interestingly, when smectic phases demix from the homogeneous mixture, they can fo…
Dislocations and Fibrations: The Topological Structure of Knotted Smectic Defects
Paul G. Severino, Randall D. Kamien, Benjamin Bode
In this work, we investigate the topological properties of knotted defects in smectic liquid crystals. Our story begins with screw dislocations, whose radial surface structure can…
Spontaneous assembly of condensate networks during the demixing of structured fluids
Yuma Morimitsu, Christopher A. Browne, Zhe Liu +6
Liquid-liquid phase separation, whereby two liquids spontaneously demix, is ubiquitous in industrial, environmental, and biological processes. While isotropic fluids are known to c…
Escape from the Second Dimension: A Topological Distinction Between Edge and Screw Dislocations
Paul G. Severino, Randall D. Kamien
Volterra's definition of dislocations in crystals distinguishes edge and screw defects geometrically, according to whether the Burgers vector is perpendicular or parallel to the de…
