Dynamics of Uniaxial-to-Biaxial Nematics Switching in Suspensions of Hard Cuboids
Effran Mirzad Rafael, Luca Tonti, Daniel Corbett +2
Field-induced reorientation of colloidal particles is especially relevant to manipulate the optical properties of a nanomaterial for target applications. We have recently shown tha…
Self-assembly of Freely-rotating Polydisperse Cuboids: Unveiling the Boundaries of the Biaxial Nematic Phase
Effran Mirzad Rafael, Daniel Corbett, Alejandro Cuetos +1
Colloidal cuboids have the potential to self-assemble into biaxial liquid crystal phases, which exhibit two independent optical axes. Over the last few decades, several theoretical…
Biaxial Nematics of Hard Cuboids in an External Field
Alejandro Cuetos, Effran Mirzad Rafael, Daniel Corbett +1
We investigate the phase behavior of colloidal suspensions of board-like particles under the effect of an external field and assess the still disputed occurrence of the biaxial nem…
Dynamic Monte Carlo algorithm for out-of-equilibrium processes in colloidal dispersions
Daniel Corbett, Alejandro Cuetos, Matthew Dennison +1
Colloids have a striking relevance in a wide spectrum of industrial formulations, spanning from personal care products to protective paints. Their behaviour can be easily influence…
Transient shear banding in the nematic dumbbell model of liquid crystalline polymers
James M Adams, Daniel Corbett
In the shear flow of liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) the nematic director orientation can align with the flow direction for some materials, but continuously tumble in others. Th…
Deep optical penetration dynamics in photo-bending
Daniel Corbett, Chen Xuan, Mark Warner
We model both the photo-stationary state and dynamics of an illuminated, photo-sensitive, glassy liquid crystalline sheet. To illustrate the interplay between local tilt of the…
