Dislocation Dynamics in an Anisotropic Stripe Pattern
Carina Kamaga, Fatima Ibrahim, Michael Dennin
The dynamics of dislocations confined to grain boundaries in a striped system are studied using electroconvection in the nematic liquid crystal N4. In electroconvection, a striped…

Dependence of Striped Domain Growth on Background Wavenumber
Carina Kamaga, Denis Funfschilling, Michael Dennin
We report on the growth of domains of standing waves in electroconvection in a nematic liquid crystal. An ac voltage is applied to the system, forming an initial state that consist…
