Chiral symmetry-breaking dynamics in the phase transformation of nematic droplets
Fred Fu, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
Dynamic simulations of the isotropic-nematic phase transformation of liquid crystal droplets under homeotropic anchoring are found to predict chiral symmetry-breaking dynamics. The…
Formation and field-driven dynamics of nematic spheroids
Fred Fu, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
Emerging technologies based on liquid crystal (LC) materials increasingly leverage the presence of nanoscale defects, unlike the canonical application of LCs -- LC displays. The in…
Field-driven dynamics of nematic microcapillaries
Pouya Khayyatzadeh, Fred Fu, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) composites have long been a focus of study for their unique electro-optical properties which have resulted in various applications such as s…
A Topologically-informed Hyperstreamline Seeding Method for Alignment Tensor Fields
Fred Fu, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
A topologically-informed method is presented for seeding of hyperstreamlines for visualization of alignment tensor fields. The method is inspired by and applied to visualization of…
