Formation of topological defects in nematic shells with a dumbbell-like shape

Soft Matter, 2022, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D2SM00378C, PaperCatharina B. da Ara újo, Ellena J. L. Oliveira, Marcelo L. Lyra, Leonid V Mirantsev, Italo N de Oliveira The present study investigates dumbbell-shaped nematic liquid crystal shells. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we consider the effects of an external electric field on nematic ordering by computing the average...
