Liquid crystal beads constrained on thin cellulosic fibers: Electric field induced microrotors and N-I transition
We directly visualize the response of nematic liquid crystal drops of toroidal topology threaded in cellulosic fibers, suspended in air, to an AC electric field and at different temperatures over the N-I transition. This new liquid crystal system can exhibit non-trivial point defects, which can be e...
