Role of surface anchoring and geometric confinement on focal conic textures in smectic-A liquid crystals
A high surface area-to-volume ratio in microchannels increases the importance of surface interactions within them. In layered liquids, such as smectic liquid crystals, surface interactions play an important role in the formation of defect textures. We use 8CB liquid crystal, which is in the smectic-...
