On elliptical soft colloids in smectic-C films
N. M. Silvestre, P. Patricio, M. M. Telo da Gama
We investigate theoretically the elliptical shapes of soft colloids in freely standing smectic C films, that have been reported recently. The colloids favour parallel alignment of…

The key-lock mechanism in nematic colloidal dispersions
N. M. Silvestre, P. Patricio, M. M. Telo da Gama
We consider the interaction of two-dimensional colloids, in nematic liquid crystals, with walls or geometrical boundaries. The interactions between colloidal disks and flat walls,…
