Switching dynamics in cholesteric blue phases
A. Tiribocchi, G. Gonnella, D. Marenduzzo +1
Blue phases are networks of disclination lines, which occur in cholesteric liquid crystals near the transition to the isotropic phase. They have recently been used for the new gene…
Thermal and hydrodynamic effects in the ordering of lamellar fluids
G. Gonnella, A. Lamura, A. Tiribocchi
Phase separation in a complex fluid with lamellar order has been studied in the case of cold thermal fronts propagating diffusively from external walls. The velocity hydrodynamic m…
Switching and defect dynamics in multistable liquid crystal devices
A. Tiribocchi, G. Gonnella, D. Marenduzzo +1
We investigate the switching dynamics of multistable nematic liquid crystal devices. In particular we identify a remarkably simple 2-dimensional (2D) device which exploits hybrid a…
