Degenerate conic anchoring and colloidal elastic dipole-hexadecapole transformations

The recently discovered elastic hexadecapole has been thought to result from a conic anchoring condition. In order to understand it at a fundamental level, the authors introduce a model for this anchoring in the context of a Landau-de Gennes free energy functional.
