Elastic monopoles and external torques in nematic liquid crystal colloids
O. M. Tovkach, S. B. Chernyshuk, B. I. Lev
Up to now it is commonly believed that a colloidal particle suspended in a nematic liquid crystal never produces elastic monopoles because this violates the mechanical equilibrium…

Elastic octopoles and colloidal structures in nematic liquid crystals
S. B. Chernyshuk, O. M. Tovkach, B. I. Lev
We propose a simple theoretical model which explains a formation of dipolar 2D and 3D colloidal structures in nematic liquid crystal. Colloidal particles are treated as effective h…
