Topological liquid crystal superstructures as structured light lasers
Miha Papič, Urban Mur, Miha Ravnik +2
Liquid crystals (LCs) form an extremely rich range of self-assembled topological structures with artificially or naturally created topological defects. Some of the main application…

Point Defects, Chirality and Singularity Theory in Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Droplets
Joseph Pollard, Gregor Posnjak, Gareth P. Alexander +2
We develop a theory of point defects in cholesterics and textures in spherical droplets with normal anchoring. The local structure of chiral defects is described by singularity the…

Reconfigurable knots and links in chiral nematic colloids
Uroš Tkalec, Miha Ravnik, Simon Čopar +2
Tying knots and linking microscopic loops of polymers, macromolecules, or defect lines in complex materials is a challenging task for material scientists. We demonstrate the knotti…
