Book ChapterDOI
Physics of Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the story of the recent developments and the future perspectives in physics of liquid crystals, especially focusing on the contributions by Japanese research groups for the last decade, and present new subjects unmentioned in the book.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tristable nematic liquid-crystal device using micropatterned surface alignment
TL;DR: This work has demonstrated how bistability can be robustly engineered into a nematic LC device, by patterning a substrate with an orientational chequerboard pattern that enforces orthogonal LC alignment in neighbouring square domains, and extended this symmetry approach to obtain a tristable surface-aligned nematicLC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Surface alignment bistability of nematic liquid crystals by orientationally frustrated surface patterns
TL;DR: In this article, a robust in-plane bistability of liquid-crystal surface alignment based on tailored submicrometer-sized surface domains imposing a frustrated alignment was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between two spherical particles in a nematic liquid crystal.
TL;DR: The interaction between two spherical particles in a nematic liquid crystal mediated by elastic distortions in the orientational order is numerically investigated and the two-particle interaction potential is attractive for large interparticle distances D and proportional to D-3 as expected from the form of the dipole-dipole interaction.
