Two-stage assembly of patchy ellipses: From bent-core particlesto liquid crystal analogs
Anuj Kumar Singh, Arunkumar Bupathy, Jenis Thongam +3
We investigate the two-dimensional behavior of colloidal patchy ellipsoids specifically designed to follow a two-step assembly process from the monomer state to mesoscopic liquid-c…
Coarsening in Bent-core Liquid Crystals: Intermediate Splay Bend State en route to the Twist Bend Phase
Nishant Birdi, Nigel B. Wilding, Sanjay Puri +1
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study coarsening dynamics in achiral banana-shaped bent-core liquid crystals following a quench from the high concentration polar smectic (…
Surface-directed Dynamics in Living Liquid Crystals
Aditya Vats, Varsha Banerjee, Sanjay Puri
We study living liquid crystals (LLCs), which are an amalgam of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) and active matter (AM). These LLCs are placed in contact with surfaces which impose pl…
