Sculpting stable structures in pure liquids
Tadej Emeršič, Rui Zhang, Žiga Kos +4
Pure liquids in thermodynamic equilibrium are structurally homogeneous. In liquid crystals, flow and light pulses are used to create reconfigurable domains with polar order. Moreov…
Microfluidic control over topological states in channel-confined nematic flows
Simon Čopar, Žiga Kos, Tadej Emeršič +1
Compared to isotropic liquids, orientational order of nematic liquid crystals makes their rheological properties more involved, and thus requires fine control of the flow parameter…
Orientational ordering of point dipoles on a sphere
Andraž Gnidovec, Simon Čopar
Arrangement of interacting particles on a sphere is historically a well known problem, however, ordering of particles with anisotropic interaction, such as the dipole-dipole intera…
Three-Dimensional Active Defect Loops
Jack Binysh, Žiga Kos, Simon Čopar +2
We describe the flows and morphological dynamics of topological defect lines and loops in three-dimensional active nematics and show, using theory and numerical modelling, that the…
Topology of three-dimensional active nematic turbulence confined to droplets
Simon Čopar, Jure Aplinc, Žiga Kos +2
Active nematics contain topological defects which under sufficient activity move, create and annihilate in a chaotic quasi-steady state, called active turbulence. However, understa…
Spherical structure factor and classification of hyperuniformity on the sphere
Anže Lošdorfer Božič, Simon Čopar
Understanding how particles are arranged on the sphere is not only central to numerous physical, biological, and materials systems but also finds applications in mathematics and in…
