Topology of orientational defects in confined smectic liquid crystals
Paul A. Monderkamp, René Wittmann, Louis B. G. Cortes +3
We propose a general formalism to characterize orientational frustration of smectic liquid crystals in confinement by interpreting the emerging networks of grain boundaries as obje…
Averaging local structure to predict the dynamic propensity in supercooled liquids
Emanuele Boattini, Frank Smallenburg, Laura Filion
Predicting the local dynamics of supercooled liquids based purely on local structure is a key challenge in our quest for understanding glassy materials. Recent years have seen an e…
Point Defects in Crystals of Charged Colloids
Rinske M. Alkemade, Marjolein de Jager, Berend van der Meer +2
Charged colloidal particles - both on the nano and micron scales - have been instrumental in enhancing our understanding of both atomic and colloidal crystals. These systems can be…
