“How defects become useful: the memory of confined nematic liquid crystals”
Abstract:
Nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) are uniaxial anisotropic and birefringent fluids that have been widely used for many decades in displays. While the aim of conventional display technology is to obtain a wholly aligned and defect-free material, new technologies are starting to exploit the potential of topological defects, i.e. regions where the NLCs are not aligned. …
