Effective free energy method for nematic liquid crystals in contact with structured substrates
L. Harnau, S. Kondrat, A. Poniewierski
We study the phase behavior of a nematic liquid crystal confined between a flat substrate with strong anchoring and a patterned substrate whose structure and local anchoring streng…

Critical adsorption on non-spherical colloidal particles
S. Kondrat, L. Harnau, S. Dietrich
We consider a non-spherical colloidal particle immersed in a fluid close to its critical point. The temperature dependence of the corresponding order parameter profile is calculate…

Phase behavior of a nematic liquid crystal in contact with a chemically and geometrically structured substrate
L. Harnau, S. Kondrat, A. Poniewierski
A nematic liquid crystal in contact with a grating surface possessing an alternating stripe pattern of locally homeotropic and planar anchoring is studied within the Frank--Oseen m…
