Developed Smectics: When Exact Solutions Agree
Gareth P. Alexander, Randall D. Kamien, Christian D. Santangelo
In the limit where the bending modulus vanishes, we construct layer configurations with arbitrary dislocation textures by exploiting a connection between uniformly-spaced layers in…
Smectic Pores and Defect Cores
Elisabetta A. Matsumoto, Christian D. Santangelo, Randall D. Kamien
Riemann's minimal surfaces are a complete, embeddable, one-parameter family of minimal surfaces with translational symmetry along one direction. It's infinite number of planar ends…
Frustrated order on extrinsic geometries
Badel L. Mbanga, Gregory M. Grason, Christian D. Santangelo
We study, analytically and theoretically, defects in a nematically-ordered surface that couple to the extrinsic geometry of a surface. Though the intrinsic geometry tends to confin…
