Colloidal structures in confined nematic liquid crystals
- Abstract:
-
Colloidal structures in confined nematics offer novel routes for designing complex optical materials with micrometer and submicrometre functionality. In this paper, we review some of our recently assembled colloidal structures that form in confined nematic cells. We present effective elastic binding via nematic distortion as a mechanism for the assembly of two-dimensional colloidal crystals of elastic dipoles and elastic quadrupoles. We introduce entangled colloids as novel types of structure...
