20.500.12556/DKUM-50658 Nematic liquid crystal locking menisci We study meniscus driven locking of point defects of nematic liquid crystals confined within a cylindrical tube with free ends. Curvilinear coordinate system is introduced in order to focus on the phenomena of both (convex and concave) types of menisci. Frank's description in terms of the nematic director field is used. The resulting Euler-Lagrange differential equation is solved numerically. We determine conditions for the defects to be trapped by the meniscus. liquid crystal defects meniscus curvature tekoči kristali defekti ukrivljenost meniska true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2015-07-10 12:42:51 2015-07-10 12:42:51 2025-09-11 10:01:14 2021-05-09 03:31:08 2013 0 0 str. 1-6 Letn. 2013 2013 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2013-02-16 2013-03-05 2013-03-27 1687-8108 532.783 23812647 19802888 10.1155/2013/756902 1687-8108 URN:SI:UM:DK:DWKVAE3W Advances_in_Condensed_Matter_Physics_2013_Svetec,_Slavinec_Nematic_Liquid_Crystal_Locking_Menisci.pdf Advances_in_Condensed_Matter_Physics_2013_Svetec,_Slavinec_Nematic_Liquid_Crystal_Locking_Menisci.pdf 1 B3F221FD1391C26D72B750C66BABCDC7 b4c08b2040ba9397b6d34d5d04fd7185e074d0c6225b92b34cb3bde6f47ec266 3d33ebd7-7c0e-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=112484 http://www.hindawi.com/journals/acmp/2013/756902/ 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=75217 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
