Skyrmion Tubes in achiral nematic liquid crystals
G. De Matteis, L. Martina, C. Naya +1
We analyze the interaction with uniform external fields of nematic liquid crystals within a recent generalized free-energy posited by Virga and falling in the class of quartic func…
Helicoids in chiral liquid crystals under external fields
G. De Matteis, L. Martina, C. Naya +1
Cholesteric Liquid Crystals (CLCs), subject to externally applied magnetic fields and confined between two parallel planar surfaces with strong homeotropic anchoring conditions, ar…
Light Scattering by Cholesteric Skyrmions
G. De Matteis, D. Delle Side, L. Martina +1
We study the light scattering by localized quasi planar excitations of a Cholesteric Liquid Crystal known as spherulites. Due to the anisotropic optical properties of the medium an…
Skyrmion States In Chiral Liquid Crystals
Giovanni De Matteis, Luigi Martina, Vito Turco
Within the framework of Oseen-Frank theory, we analyse the static configurations for chiral liquid crystals. In particular, we find numerical solutions for localised axisymmetric s…
