Determination of the interactions in confined macroscopic Wigner islands: theory and experiments
P. Galatola, G. Coupier, M. Saint Jean +2
Macroscopic Wigner islands present an interesting complementary approach to explore the properties of two-dimensional confined particles systems. In this work, we characterize theo…

Modeling planar degenerate wetting and anchoring in nematic liquid crystals
Jean-Baptiste Fournier, Paolo Galatola
We propose a simple surface potential favoring the planar degenerate anchoring of nematic liquid crystals, i.e., the tendency of the molecules to align parallel to one another alon…

Interaction and flocculation of spherical colloids wetted by a surface-induced corona of paranematic order
Paolo Galatola, Jean-Baptiste Fournier, Holger Stark
Particles dispersed in a liquid crystal above the nematic-isotropic phase transition are wetted by a surface-induced corona of paranematic order. Such coronas give rise to pronounc…
