Observation of second order meron polarisation textures in optical microcavities
M. Król, H. Sigurdsson, K. Rechcińska +12
Multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensates, quantum Hall systems, and chiral magnetic materials display twists and knots in the continuous symmetries of their order parameter, known…
Mesoporous alumina- and silica-based crystalline nanocomposites with tailored anisotropy: methodology, structure and properties
A. V. Kityk, A. Andrushchak, Ya. Shchur +10
We present several recently synthesized nanocomposites consisting of liquid crystals as well as an organic molecular crystal embedded into the nanochannels of mesoporous alumina an…
Application of retardation-modulation polarimetry in studies of nanocomposite materials
Andriy V. Kityk, Patrick Huber, Anatoliy Andrushchak +2
We demonstrate an application of retardation-modulation polarimetry in studies of nanocomposite materials. Molecular ordering is explored on both nonchiral and chiral liquid crysta…
A ferroelectric liquid crystal confined in cylindrical nanopores: Reversible smectic layer buckling, enhanced light rotation and extremely fast electro-optically active Goldstone excitations
Mark Busch, Andriy V. Kityk, Wiktor Piecek +7
The orientational and translational order of a thermotropic ferroelectric liquid crystal (2MBOCBC) imbibed in self-organized, parallel, cylindrical pores with radii of 10, 15, or 2…
