Nematic colloidal assemblies: Towards photonic crystals and metamaterials
Colloidal structures assembled in confined nematic liquid crystals are examined. Theoretical predictions based on Landau-type approaches are complemented with the latest studies of laser assisted colloidal assembling. Effective colloidal interactions are particularly sensitive to the confinement and...
