Instability of flat disks with respect to the formation of twisted ribbons in smectic-A monolayers
Hao Tu, Robert A. Pelcovits
Smectic-A monolayers self-assembled from aqueous solutions of chiral fd viruses and a polymer depletant can assume a variety of shapes such as flat disks and twisted ribbons. A the…

Theory of self-assembled smectic-A "crenellated disks"
Hao Tu, Robert A. Pelcovits
Smectic-A monolayers self-assembled in aqueous solutions of chiral fd viruses and a polymer depletant have been shown to exhibit a variety of structures including large, flat disks…

Theory of depletion induced phase transition from chiral smectic A twisted ribbons to semi-infinite flat membranes
C. Nadir Kaplan, Hao Tu, Robert A. Pelcovits +1
We consider a theoretical model for the chiral smectic A twisted ribbons observed in assemblies of fd viruses condensed by depletion forces. The depletion interaction is modeled by…
