an approach based on the solution of differential identities for the partition function. In the …

Surface alignment, anchoring transitions, optical properties, and topological defects in the thermotropic nematic phase of organo-siloxane tetrapodes

YK Kim, B Senyuk, ST Shin, A Kohlmeier, GH Mehl… - Soft Matter, 2014 - pubs.rsc.org
We perform optical, surface anchoring, and textural studies of an organo-siloxane
“tetrapode” material in the broad temperature range of the nematic phase. The optical …

Twisted quasiperiodic textures of biaxial nematic liquid crystals

VL Golo, EI Kats, AA Sevenyuk, DO Sinitsyn - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2013 - APS
Textures (ie, smooth space nonuniform distributions of the order parameter) in biaxial
nematics turned out to be much more complex and interesting than expected. Scanning the …
