Templated self-assembly of gold nanoparticles in smectic liquid crystals confined at 3D printed curved surfaces
Mackenzie O'Keefe, Jane Bernadette Denise M. Garcia, Abeco J. Rwakabuba +3
The fabrication of assembled structures of topological defects in liquid crystals (LCs) has attracted much attention during the last decade, stemming from the potential application…
Shape-controlled orientation and assembly of colloids with sharp edges in nematic liquid crystals
Daniel A. Beller, Mohamed A. Gharbi, Iris B. Liu
The assembly of colloids in nematic liquid crystals via topological defects has been extensively studied for spherical particles, and investigations of other colloid shapes have re…
Behavior of colloidal particles at an air/nematic liquid crystal interface
M. A. Gharbi, M. Nobili, M. In +4
We examine the behavior of spherical silica particles trapped at an air-nematic liquid crystal interface. When a strong normal anchoring is imposed, the beads spontaneously form va…
