A multi-axis confocal rheoscope for studying shear flow of structured fluids

Neil Y. C. Lin, Jonathan H. McCoy, Xiang Cheng +3

We present a new design for a confocal rheoscope that enables uniform uniaxial or biaxial shear. The design consists of two precisely-positioned parallel plates with a gap that can…

Visualization, coarsening and flow dynamics of focal conic domains in simulated Smectic-A liquid crystals

Danilo B. Liarte, Matthew Bierbaum, Muxin Zhang +3

Smectic liquid crystals vividly illustrate the subtle interplay of broken translational and orientational symmetries, by exhibiting defect structures forming geometrically perfect…
