Surface Stabilized Topological Solitons in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Crystals, 2020 Photo-alignment is a versatile tool to pattern the alignment at the confining substrates in a liquid crystal (LC) cell. Arbitrary alignment patterns can be created by using projection with a spatial light modulator (SLM) for the illumination.
