Smectic Layering: Landau theory for a complex-tensor order parameter
Jack Paget, Una Alberti, Marco G. Mazza +2
Composed of microscopic layers that stack along one direction while maintaining fluid-like positional disorder within layers, smectics are excellent systems for exploring topology,…
Mesoscopic Simulations of Active-Nematics
Timofey Kozhukhov, Tyler N. Shendruk
Coarse-grained, mesoscale simulations are invaluable for studying soft condensed matter because of their ability to model systems in which a background solvent plays a significant…
Complex-tensor theory of simple smectics
Jack Paget, Marco G. Mazza, Andew J. Archer +1
Smectic materials represent a unique state between fluids and solids, characterized by orientational and partial positional order, making them notoriously difficult to model, parti…
Fluctuation-induced dynamics of nematic topological defects
Lasse Bonn, Aleksandra Ardaseva, Romain Mueller +2
Topological defects are increasingly being identified in various biological systems, where their characteristic flow fields and stress patterns are associated with continuous activ…
