Symmetries and Elasticity of Nematic Gels
T. C. Lubensky, Ranjan Mukhopadhyay, Leo Radzihovsky +1
A nematic liquid-crystal gel is a macroscopically homogeneous elastic medium with the rotational symmetry of a nematic liquid crystal. In this paper, we develop a general approach…
Theory of Quantum Hall Nematics
Leo Radzihovsky, Alan T. Dorsey
Transport measurements on two dimensional electron systems in moderate magnetic fields suggest the existence of a spontaneously orientationally-ordered, compressible liquid state.…
Global phase diagram of bilayer quantum Hall ferromagnets
M. Abolfath, L. Radzihovsky, A. H. MacDonald
We present a microscopic study of the interlayer spacing d versus in-plane magnetic field phase diagram for bilayer quantum Hall (QH) pseudo-ferromagnets. In addition…
Pseudo-spin canting transition in bilayer quantum Hall ferromagnets: a self-charging capacitor
Leo Radzihovsky
For sufficiently strong in-plane magnetic field a bilayer quantum Hall pseudo-ferromagnet is expected to exhibit a soliton lattice. For sufficiently close layers and large…
"Soft" Anharmonic Vortex Glass in Ferromagnetic Superconductors
Leo Radzihovsky, A. M. Ettouhami, Karl Saunders +1
Ferromagnetic order in superconductors can induce a {\em spontaneous} vortex (SV) state. For external field , rotational symmetry guarantees a vanishing tilt modulus of…
