Catapulting of topological defects through elasticity bands in active nematics
Nitin Kumar, Rui Zhang, Steven A. Redford +2
Active materials are those in which individual, uncoordinated local stresses drive the material out of equilibrium on a global scale. Examples of such assemblies can be seen across…
Thickness-dependent spin bistable transitions in single-crystalline molecular 2D material
John Koptur-Palenchar, Miguel Gakiya-Teruya, Duy Le +7
The advent of two-dimensional (2D) crystals has led to numerous scientific breakthroughs. Conventional 2D systems have in-plane covalent bonds and a weak out-of-plane van-der-Waals…
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…
