Multiple light scattering in anisotropic random media
Holger Stark, Tom C. Lubensky
In the last decade Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) has emerged as a powerful tool to study turbid media. In this article we develop the formalism to describe light diffusion in g…
Twist-Stretch Elasticity of DNA
C. S. O'Hern, Randall D. Kamien, T. C. Lubensky +1
The symmetries of the DNA double helix require a new term in its linear response to stress: the coupling between twist and stretch. Recent experiments with torsionally-constrained…
Direct Determination of DNA Twist-Stretch Coupling
Randall D. Kamien, Tom C. Lubensky, Philip Nelson +1
The symmetries of the DNA double helix require a new term in its linear response to stress: the coupling between twist and stretch. Recent experiments with torsionally-constrained…
Chiral Discotic Columnar Phases in Liquid Crystals
Gu Yan, T. C. Lubensky
We introduce a model to describe columnar phases of chiral discotic liquid phases in which the normals to disc-like molecules are constrained to lie parallel to columnar axes. The…
Soft Condensed Matter Physics
T. C. Lubensky
Soft condensed matter physics is the study of materials, such as fluids, liquid crystals, polymers, colloids, and emulsions, that are ``soft" to the touch. This article will review…
Multiple light scattering in nematic liquid crystals
Holger Stark, Tom C. Lubensky
We present a rigorous treatment of the diffusion approximation for multiple light scattering in anisotropic random media, and apply it to director fluctuations in a nematic liquid…
