Submersed Micropatterned Structures Control Active Nematic Flow, Topology and Concentration
Kristian Thijssen, Dimitrius Khaladj, S. Ali Aghvami +5
Coupling between flows and material properties imbues rheological matter with its wide-ranging applicability, hence the excitement for harnessing the rheology of active fluids for…
Elastocapillary driven assembly of particles at free-standing smectic-A films
Mohamed Amine Gharbi, Daniel A. Beller, Nima Sharifi-Mood +4
Colloidal particles at complex fluid interfaces and within films assemble to form ordered structures with high degrees of symmetry via interactions that include capillarity, elasti…
Curvature-driven, One-step Assembly of Reconfigurable Smectic Liquid Crystal "Compound Eye" Lenses
Francesca Serra, Mohamed A. Gharbi, Yimin Luo +5
Confined smectic A liquid crystals (SmA LCs) form topological defects called focal conic domains (FCDs) that focus light as gradient-index lenses. Here, we exploit surface curvatur…
