Photopatterned Designer Disclination Networks in Nematic Liquid Crystals (Advanced Optical Materials 16/2021)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 2100181, Qi-Huo Wei and co-workers demonstrate a versatile approach to designing complex networks of disclinations and their generation with a plasmonic photopatterning technique. The disclinations can be either suspended with preprogrammed shape and lattices, or anchored on substrates interconnecting predesigned sites. The cover image is a polarizing optical microscopic picture of some suspended disclination lines and loops and corresponding molecular orientation patterns at two confining glass substrates.
