In this work,we study the interaction between two colloidal particles in a liquid crystal that is in the isotropic phase.The interaction is caused by surface-induced polarization of the liquid crystal molecules in the...

The lubrication characteristics of liquid crystal(LC) molecules sheared between two crystalline surfaces obtained from molecular dynamics(MD) simulations are reported in this article.We consider a coarse-grained rigid...

In this paper, a novel decomposition expression for the U(1) gauge field in liquid crystals (LCs) is derived. Using this decomposition expression and the b-mapping topological current theory, we investigate the to...
In the light of φ-mapping method and topological current theory, the contribution of disclination lines to free energy density of liquid crystals is studied in the single-elastic constant approximation. It is pointed...
Using φ-mapping method and topological current theory, the topological structure and bifurcation ofdisclination lines in two-dimensional liquid crystals are studied. By introducing the strength density and the topolo...
