Geometric modeling of phase ordering for the isotropic–smectic A phase transition
BackgroundLiquid crystal (LC) mesophases have an orientational and positional order that can be found in both synthetic and biological materials. These orders are maintained until some parameter, mainly the temperature or concentration, is changed, inducing a phase transition. Among these transition...
