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…

Effect of collective molecular reorientations on Brownian motion of colloids in nematic liquid crystal

Taras Turiv, Israel Lazo, Alexander Brodin +4

In the simplest realization of Brownian motion, a colloidal sphere moves randomly in an isotropic fluid; its mean squared displacement (MSD) grows linearly with time . Br…

The ground state and the character of the interaction between a colloidal particles in a liquid crystals

B. I. Lev

In this article is proposed the general approach to determination the character of the interaction between colloidal particles in a different liquid crystals. The main idea of this…

The statistical description of the electron system on the liquid helium surface

B. I. Lev, V. P. Ostroukh, V. B. Tymchyshyn +1

It is known that homogeneous distribution of particles in Coulomb-like systems can be unstable, and spatially inhomogeneous structures can be formed. A simple method for describing…

Theory of elastic interaction between colloidal particles in the nematic cell in the presence of the external electric or magnetic field

S. B. Chernyshuk, O. M. Tovkach, B. I. Lev

The Green function method developed in Ref.[S. B. Chernyshuk and B. I. Lev, Phys. Rev. E \textbf{81}, 041707 (2010)] is used to describe elastic interactions between axially symmet…

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…
