Finite particle size drives defect-mediated domain structures in strongly confined colloidal liquid crystals
When liquid crystals are confined to finite volumes, the competition between the surface anchoring imposed by the boundaries and the intrinsic orientational symmetry-breaking of these materials gives rise to a host of intriguing phenomena involving topological defect structures. For synthetic molecu...
