Competition of Lattice and Basis for Alignment of Nematic Liquid Crystals
Andrew DeBenedictis, Candy Anquetil-Deck, Douglas J. Cleaver +4
Due to elastic anisotropy, two-dimensional patterning of substrates can promote weak azimuthal alignment of adjacent nematic liquid crystals. Here, we consider how such alignment c…
Predicting the Influence of Plate Geometry on the Eddy Current Pendulum
Catherine Weigel, Jeremy M. Wachter, Paul Wagoner +1
We quantitatively analyze a familiar classroom demonstration, Van Waltenhofen's eddy current pendulum, to predict the damping effect for a variety of plate geometries from first pr…
The role of curvature anisotropy in the ordering of spheres on an ellipsoid
Christopher J. Burke, Badel L. Mbanga, Zengyi Wei +2
Non-spherical emulsion droplets can be stabilized by densely packed colloidal particles adsorbed at their surface. In order to understand the microstructure of these surface packin…
