Structures and phase transition of liquid crystals in a dynamic slit confinement
We report on the dynamic confinement of colloidal liquid crystals in a two-dimensional slit pore with a periodically stretching and contracting boundary using Langevin dynamics simulations. The influence of moving walls on phase behavior is analyzed, and four structures are identified. It is found t...
