Colloidal smectics in button-like confinements: experiment and theory
Liquid crystals can self-organize into a layered smectic phase. While the smectic layers are typically straight forming a lamellar pattern in bulk, external confinement may drastically distort the layers due to the boundary conditions imposed on the orientational director field. Resolving this disto...
