Two-dimensional skyrmions and other solitonic structures in confinement-frustrated chiral nematics
Paul J. Ackerman, Rahul P. Trivedi, Bohdan Senyuk +2
We explore spatially localized solitonic configurations of a director field, generated using optical realignment and laser-induced heating, in frustrated chiral nematic liquid crys…
Shape-dependent oriented trapping and scaffolding of plasmonic nanoparticles by topological defects for self-assembly of colloidal dimers in liquid crystals
Bohdan Senyuk, Julian S. Evans, Paul J. Ackerman +6
We demonstrate scaffolding of plasmonic nanoparticles by topological defects induced by colloidal microspheres to match their surface boundary conditions with a uniform far-field a…
Optically and elastically assembled plasmonic nanoantennae for spatially resolved characterization of chemical composition in soft matter systems using surface enhanced spontaneous and stimulated Raman scattering
Haridas Mundoor, Taewoo Lee, Derek G. Gann +4
We present a method to locally probe spatially varying chemical composition of soft matter systems by use of optically controlled and elastically self-assembled plasmonic nanoanten…
