Disordering to Order: de Vries behavior from a Landau theory for smectics
Karl Saunders, Daniel Hernandez, Staci Pearson +1
We show that Landau theory for the isotropic, nematic, smectic A, and smectic C phases generically, but not ubiquitously, implies de Vries behavior. I.e., a continuous AC transitio…

Pattern stabilization through parameter alternation in a nonlinear optical system
J. P. Sharpe, P. L. Ramazza, N. Sungar +1
We report the first experimental realization of pattern formation in a spatially extended nonlinear system when the system is alternated between two states, neither of which exhibi…
