Reconfigurable knots and links in chiral nematic colloids
Uroš Tkalec, Miha Ravnik, Simon Čopar +2
Tying knots and linking microscopic loops of polymers, macromolecules, or defect lines in complex materials is a challenging task for material scientists. We demonstrate the knotti…

Fluctuations of topological disclination lines in nematics: renormalization of the string model
D. Svensek, S. Zumer
The fluctuation eigenmode problem of the nematic topological disclination line with strength is solved for the complete nematic tensor order parameter. The line tension c…

External and intrinsic anchoring in nematic liquid crystals: A Monte Carlo study
N. V. Priezjev, G. Skacej, R. A. Pelcovits +1
We present a Monte Carlo study of external surface anchoring in nematic cells with partially disordered solid substrates, as well as of intrinsic anchoring at free nematic interfac…
