Drag on particles in a nematic suspension by a moving nematic-isotropic interface
J. L. West, A. Glushchenko, G. Liao +3
We report the first clear demonstration of drag on colloidal particles by a moving nematic-isotropic interface. The balance of forces explains our observation of periodic, strip-li…

Theory and simulation of the nematic zenithal anchoring coefficient
D. Andrienko, M. P. Allen
Combining molecular simulation, Onsager theory and the elastic description of nematic liquid crystals, we study the dependence of the nematic liquid crystal elastic constants and t…

Defect structures and torque on an elongated colloidal particle immersed in a liquid crystal host
D. Andrienko, M. P. Allen, G. Skacej +1
Combining molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation we study defect structures around an elongated colloidal particle embedded in a nematic liquid crystal host. By studying nem…
