Active Nematic Ratchet in Asymmetric Obstacle Arrays
Cody D. Schimming, C. J. O. Reichhardt, C. Reichhardt
We numerically investigate the effect of a periodic array of asymmetric obstacles in a two-dimensional active nematic. We find that activity in conjunction with the asymmetry leads…

A tensor density measure of topological charge in three dimensional nematic phases
Cody D. Schimming, Jorge Viñals
A path independent measure in order parameter space is introduced such that, when integrated along any closed contour in a three dimensional nematic phase, it yields the topologica…

Equilibrium morphology of tactoids in elastically anisotropic nematics
Cody D. Schimming, Jorge Viñals
We study two dimensional tactoids in nematic liquid crystals by using a -tensor representation. A bulk free energy of the Maier-Saupe form with eigenvalue constraints o…
