Liquid- crystalline Casimir forces in the presence of nano-particles
After a short review of nematic liquid crystals and their interactions with the external fields, we investigate the effect of a disordered field which destabilizes the orientational molecular order of a nematic film. We analyze the effect of the disorder in the applied field on the pseudo-Casimir fo...
