Direct calculation of distortion energies in colloidal liquid crystals from single-particle data
We report a method to calculate distortion energies of a colloidal liquid crystal from single-particle data via a triangulation of the particle positions followed by a linear interpolation of the particle orientations. Our method provides local information on the strength and type of distortions pre...
