Breaking the Rules for Topological Defects: Smectic Order on Conical Substrates
Ricardo A. Mosna, Daniel A. Beller, Randall D. Kamien
Ordered phases on curved substrates experience a complex interplay of ordering and intrinsic curvature, commonly producing frustration and singularities. This is an especially impo…
