Dynamics of Gas-Fluidized Granular Rods
L. J. Daniels, Y. Park, T. C. Lubensky +1
We study a quasi-two-dimensional monolayer of granular rods fluidized by a spatially and temporally homogeneous upflow of air. By tracking the position and orientation of the parti…
Geometric Frustration in Buckled Colloidal Monolayers
Yilong Han, Yair Shokef, Ahmed M. Alsayed +3
Geometric frustration arises when lattice structure prevents simultaneous minimization of local interactions. It leads to highly degenerate ground states and, subsequently, complex…
Stripes, Zigzags, and Slow Dynamics in Buckled Hard Spheres
Yair Shokef, Tom C. Lubensky
We study the analogy between buckled colloidal monolayers and the triangular-lattice Ising antiferromagnet. We calculate free volume-induced Ising interactions, show how lattice de…
Smectic- elastomers with weak director anchoring
J. M. Adams, M. Warner, O. Stenull +1
Experimentally it is possible to manipulate the director in a (chiral) smectic- elastomer using an electric field. This suggests that the director is not necessarily locked to t…
Smectic-C tilt under shear in Smectic-A elastomers
Olaf Stenull, T. C. Lubensky, J. M. Adams +1
Stenull and Lubensky [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 76}, 011706 (2007)] have argued that shear strain and tilt of the director relative to the layer normal are coupled in smectic elastomers an…
