Curvature-Induced Defect Unbinding in Toroidal Geometries
Mark Bowick, David R. Nelson, Alex Travesset
Toroidal templates such as vesicles with hexatic bond orientational order are discussed. The total energy including disclination charges is explicitly computed for hexatic order em…

Grain Boundary Scars and Spherical Crystallography
A. R. Bausch, M. J. Bowick, A. Cacciuto +6
We describe experimental investigations of the structure of two-dimensional spherical crystals. The crystals, formed by beads self-assembled on water droplets in oil, serve as mode…
