Comment on "Freezing by heating in a driven mesoscopic system"
Leo Radzihovsky, Noel A. Clark
We point out that the phenomenon ``heating by freezing'' discovered in nonequilibrium simulations by Helbing, et al. (PRL 84, 1240 (2000)) extends to equilibrium systems as well. W…
Thermal fluctuations and anomalous elasticity of homogeneous nematic elastomers
Xiangjun Xing, Leo Radzihovsky
We present a unified formulation of a rotationally invariant nonlinear elasticity for a variety of spontaneously anisotropic phases, and use it to study thermal fluctuations in nem…
Universal Elasticity and Fluctuations of Nematic Gels
Xiangjun Xing, Leo Radzihovsky
We study elasticity of spontaneously orientationally-ordered amorphous solids, characterized by a vanishing transverse shear modulus, as realized for example by nematic elastomers…
Velocity-force characteristics of an interface driven through a periodic potential
A. M. Ettouhami, Leo Radzihovsky
We study the creep dynamics of a two-dimensional interface driven through a periodic potential using dynamical renormalization group methods. We find that the nature of weak-drive…
Theory of Banana Liquid Crystal Phases and Phase Transitions
Tom Lubensky, Leo Radzihovsky
We study phases and phase transitions that can take place in the newly discovered banana (bow-shaped or bent-core) liquid crystal molecules. We show that to completely characterize…
