A Novel Landau-de Gennes Model with Quartic Elastic Terms
Dmitry Golovaty, Michael Novack, Peter Sternberg
Within the framework of the generalized Landau-de Gennes theory, we identify a -tensor-based energy that reduces to the four-constant Oseen-Frank energy when it is considered ov…

Phase Transitions in Nematics: Textures with Tactoids and Disclinations
Dmitry Golovaty, Young-Ki Kim, Oleg D. Lavrentovich +2
We demonstrate that a first order isotropic-to-nematic phase transition in liquid crystals can be succesfully modeled within the generalized Landau-de Gennes theory by selecting an…
