This article provides a concise review of a new state of colloidal matter called nematic liquid-
crystal colloids. These colloids are obtained by dispersing microparticles of different shapes …

Colloidal inclusions in thin free standing liquid crystal films are ideal model systems for 2D
anisotropic dispersions. Different types of self-organization in chain and lattice structures …

I started the work on liquid crystal colloids around the year 2000 as a continuation of our
experiments on forces between surfaces in liquid crystals. We were using the atomic force …

We numerically investigate the interaction between two spherical particles in a nematic
liquid crystal mediated by elastic distortions in the orientational order. We pay attention to …

We report on the organization and dynamics of bacteria (Proteus mirabilis) dispersed within
lyotropic liquid crystal (LC) films confined by pairs of surfaces that induce homeotropic …

Anisotropic fluids appear in a diverse array of systems, from liquid crystal displays to
bacterial swarms, and are characterized by orientational order. Large colloidal particles …

Spherical colloidal particles with normal and tangential surface director alignment in a
nematic liquid crystal induce elastic quadrupoles of opposite signs that attract one another …

We apply the method developed [Chernyshuk and Lev, Phys. Rev. E 81, 041701 (2010)
PLEEE8 1539-3755 10.1103/PhysRevE. 81.041701] for theoretical investigation of colloidal …

We give a review of the theory of large distance colloidal interaction via the nematic director
eld. The new area of nematic colloidal systems (or nematic emulsions) has been guided by …

We investigate the orientation profile and the structure of topological defects of a nematic
liquid crystal around a spherical particle using an adaptive mesh refinement scheme …
