Colloids are abundant in nature, science, and technology, with examples ranging from milk
to quantum dots and the colloidal atom paradigm. Similarly, liquid crystal ordering is …

Colloidal systems are abundant in technology, in biomedical settings, and in our daily life.
The so-called “colloidal atoms” paradigm exploits interparticle interactions to self-assemble …

Outermost occupied electron shells of chemical elements can have symmetries resembling
that of monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles and octupoles corresponding to filled s-, p-, d-and f …

Achieving and exceeding diversity of colloidal analogs of chemical elements and molecules
as building blocks of matter has been the central goal and challenge of colloidal science …

We present numerical solutions to the Landau-de Gennes free-energy model under the one-
constant approximation for systems of single and double spherical colloidal particles …

We derive an analytical formula for the Saturn-ring configuration around a small colloidal
particle suspended in nematic liquid crystal. In particular we obtain an explicit expression for …

We demonstrate that high anisotropy of elastic constants of chromonic liquid crystals leads
to a number of spontaneously twisted nematic director fields around colloidal particles in …

We study pairwise interactions between localized topological structures in chiral magnetic
and cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) systems confined in the planar geometry. Our …

Colloidal interactions in nematic liquid crystals can be described as interactions between
elastic multipoles that depend on particle shape, topology, chirality, boundary conditions …

Electrokinetic phenomena in a nematic suspension are considered when one or more
dielectric particles are suspended in a liquid crystal matrix in its nematic phase. The long …
