Theory of elastic interaction between axially symmetric 3D skyrmions in confined chiral nematic liquid crystals and in skyrmion bags
S. B. Chernyshuk, Ye. G. Rudnikov
We study axially symmetrical 3D skyrmionic particles (torons, hopfions) in a thin homeotropic cell filled with a cholesteric liquid crystal. In this case, the contribution of the c…

Ordered droplet structures at the liquid crystal surface and elastic-capillary colloidal interactions
I. I. Smalyukh, S. Chernyshuk, B. I. Lev +4
We demonstrate a variety of ordered patterns, including hexagonal structures and chains, formed by colloidal particles (droplets) at the free surface of a nematic liquid crystal (L…
