Colloidal particles at a nematic-isotropic interface: effects of confinement
J. L. West, K. Zhang, A. Glushchenko +3
When captured by a flat nematic-isotropic interface, colloidal particles can be dragged by it. As a result spatially periodic structures may appear, with the period depending on a…

Drag on particles in a nematic suspension by a moving nematic-isotropic interface
J. L. West, A. Glushchenko, G. Liao +3
We report the first clear demonstration of drag on colloidal particles by a moving nematic-isotropic interface. The balance of forces explains our observation of periodic, strip-li…
