Shaping nanoparticle fingerprints at the interface of cholesteric droplets
Lisa Tran, Hye-Na Kim, Ningwei Li +4
The ordering of nanoparticles into predetermined configurations is of importance to the design of advanced technologies. In this work, we moderate the surface anchoring against the…
A change in stripes for cholesteric shells via anchoring in moderation
Lisa Tran, Maxim O. Lavrentovich, Guillaume Durey +7
Chirality, ubiquitous in complex biological systems, can be controlled and quantified in synthetic materials such as cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) systems. In this work, we stud…
Curvature-driven migration of colloids on lipid bilayers
Ningwei Li, Nima Sharifi-Mood, Fuquan Tu +4
Colloids and proteins alike can bind to lipid bilayers and move laterally in these two-dimensional fluids. Inspired by proteins that generate membrane curvature, sense the underlyi…
Lassoing saddle splay and the geometrical control of topological defects
Lisa Tran, Maxim O. Lavrentovich, Daniel A. Beller +3
Systems with holes, such as colloidal handlebodies and toroidal droplets, have been studied in the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB): both point and ring…
