Surface Alignment, Anchoring Transitions, Optical Properties, and Topological Defects in the Thermotropic Nematic Phase of an Organo-Siloxane Tetrapodes
Young-Ki Kim, Bohdan Senyuk, Sung-Tae Shin +3
We perform optical, surface anchoring, and textural studies of an organo-siloxane tetrapode material in the broad temperature range of the nematic phase. The optical, structural, a…

Morphogenesis of defects and tactoids during isotropic-nematic phase transition in self-assembled lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals
Young-Ki Kim, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
We explore the structure of nuclei and topological defects in the first-order phase transition between the nematic (N) and isotropic (I) phases in lyotropic chromonic liquid crysta…
