Confinement effect on interparticle potential in nematic colloids.

We studied the confinement effect on the interaction force in nematic liquid crystal colloids with spherical particles inducing planar anchoring. Using magneto-optical tweezers, we measured the spatial dependence of the quadrupolar structural interparticle force over 4 orders of magnitude. For small...
