Generation and propagation of solitary waves in nematic liquid crystals
Xingzhou Tang, Ali Mozaffari, Noe Atzin +3
Solitons in nematic liquid crystals offer intriguing opportunities for transport and sensing in microfluidic systems. Little is known about the elementary conditions that are neede…
A minimal model of solitons in nematic liquid crystals
Noe Atzin, Ali Mozaffari, Xingzhou Tang +3
Solitons in liquid crystals have generated considerable interest. Several hypotheses of varying complexity have been advanced to explain how they emerge, and a consensus has not em…
Transformation between elastic dipoles, quadrupoles, octupoles and hexadecapoles driven by surfactant self-assembly in nematic emulsion
Bohdan Senyuk, Ali Mozaffari, Kevin Crust +3
Emulsions comprising isotropic fluid drops within a nematic host are of interest for applications ranging from biodetection to smart windows, which rely on changes of molecular ali…
Defect Spirograph: Dynamical Behavior of Defects in Spatially Patterned Active Nematics
Ali Mozaffari, Rui Zhang, Noe Atzin +1
Topological defects in active liquid crystals can be confined by introducing gradients of activity. Here, we examine the dynamical behavior of two defects confined by a sharp gradi…
Testing General Free Functions in Preferred Scale Theories
Ali Mozaffari
Building on previous work, we explore the parameter space of general free functions in non-relativistic modified gravity theories motivated by k-essence and other scalar-tensor the…
