Directing and reconfiguring colloidal assembly by disclination networks in nematic liquid crystal as templates

Exotic structures with interesting physical and chemical properties can be achieved by self-organizing engineered building blocks. The central aim for self-assembly is to precisely control the position and orientation of individual building blocks. In this work, we use topological defects (disclinat...
