Transformation between elastic dipoles, quadrupoles, octupoles and hexadecapoles driven by surfactant self-assembly in nematic emulsion
Bohdan Senyuk, Ali Mozaffari, Kevin Crust +3
Emulsions comprising isotropic fluid drops within a nematic host are of interest for applications ranging from biodetection to smart windows, which rely on changes of molecular ali…
Coarse-grained Soft-Clusters Remain non-Diffusing in the Melt State
Qing-Zhi Zou, Yihui Zhu, Yifu Ruan +2
Melts of 3-dimensional dendritic beads-springs, namely coarse-grained soft-clusters, are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The goal is to elucidate the unique dynamics of…
Sculpting stable structures in pure liquids
Tadej Emeršič, Rui Zhang, Žiga Kos +4
Pure liquids in thermodynamic equilibrium are structurally homogeneous. In liquid crystals, flow and light pulses are used to create reconfigurable domains with polar order. Moreov…
Tunable structure and dynamics of active liquid crystals
Nitin Kumar, Rui Zhang, Juan J. de Pablo +1
Active materials are capable of converting free energy into directional motion, giving rise to striking dynamical phenomena. Developing a general understanding of their structure i…
Interplay of Structure, Elasticity and Dynamics in Actin-Based Nematic Materials
Rui Zhang, Nitin Kumar, Jennifer Ross +2
Achieving control and tunability of lyotropic materials has been a long-standing goal of liquid crystal research. Here we show that the elasticity of a liquid crystal system consis…
