Interactions of distinct quadrupolar nematic colloids
Z. Eskandari, N. M. Silvestre, M. Tasinkevych +1
The effective interaction between spherical colloids in nematic liquid crystals is investigated in the framework of the Landau-de Gennes theory. The colloids differ through their i…

Liquid crystals boojum-colloids
M. Tasinkevych, N. M. Silvestre, M. M. Telo da Gama
Colloidal particles dispersed in a liquid crystal lead to distortions of the director field. The distortions are responsible for long-range effective colloidal interactions whose a…
