Shape-tuning the colloidal assemblies in nematic liquid crystals
Colloidal platelets are natural building blocks for the shape-controlled assembly of two-dimensional periodic lattices and can form versatile optical elements. Using three-dimensional (3D) numerical modelling, we demonstrate the self-assembly of triangular, square and pentagonal sub-micrometer sized...
