Phase Transitions in Nematics: Textures with Tactoids and Disclinations
Dmitry Golovaty, Young-Ki Kim, Oleg D. Lavrentovich +2
We demonstrate that a first order isotropic-to-nematic phase transition in liquid crystals can be succesfully modeled within the generalized Landau-de Gennes theory by selecting an…

Domain Walls and Anchoring Transitions Mimicking Nematic Biaxiality in the Oxadiazole Bent-Core Liquid Crystal C7
Young-ki Kim, Greta Cukrov, Jie Xiang +2
We investigate the origin of secondary disclinations that were recently described as a new evidence of a biaxial nematic phase in an oxadiazole bent-core thermotropic liquid crysta…
