Field-Orientation Coupling Effects in Nematic Liquid Crystal Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-23)Using the continuum Landau-de Gennes model for the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) phase, we study the equilibrium behaviour of nematic cells, accounting for the coupling between external fields and nematic order. This is ... -
Machine Learning Topological Defects of Liquid Crystals in Two Dimensions
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-26)Over the recent few years, condensed matter physics has keenly been testing out the compelling techniques from the toolbox of machine learning. Order parameters, phase transitions, and other thermodynamic quantities have ...
