Topology of orientational defects in confined smectic liquid crystals
We propose a general formalism to characterize orientational frustration of smectic liquid
crystals in confinement by interpreting the emerging networks of grain boundaries as objects …

Particle-resolved topological defects of smectic colloidal liquid crystals in extreme confinement
Confined samples of liquid crystals are characterized by a variety of topological defects and
can be exposed to external constraints such as extreme confinements with nontrivial …

Collective mechano-response dynamically tunes cell-size distributions in growing bacterial colonies
Mechanical stresses stemming from environmental factors are a key determinant of cellular
behavior and physiology. Yet, the role of self-induced biomechanical stresses in growing …

Semiflexible polymers in the bulk and confined by planar walls
Semiflexible polymers in solution under good solvent conditions can undergo an isotropic-
nematic transition. This transition is reminiscent of the well-known entropically-driven …

Defying the gibbs phase rule: Evidence for an entropy-driven quintuple point in colloid-polymer mixtures
Using a minimal algebraic model for the thermodynamics of binary rod-polymer mixtures, we
provide evidence for a quintuple phase equilibrium; an observation that seems to be at odds …

Active Brownian particles at interfaces: An effective equilibrium approach
R Wittmann, JM Brader - Europhysics Letters, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
A simple theoretical approach is used to investigate active colloids at the free interface and
near repulsive substrates. We employ dynamical density functional theory to determine the …

Topological fine structure of smectic grain boundaries and tetratic disclination lines within three-dimensional smectic liquid crystals
Observing and characterizing the complex ordering phenomena of liquid crystals subjected
to external constraints constitutes an ongoing challenge for chemists and physicists alike. To …
