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.

Constant-angle surfaces in liquid crystals [PDF]
, 2007 We discuss some properties of surfaces in R3 whose unit normal has constant angle with an assigned direction field. The constant angle condition can be rewritten as an Hamilton-Jacobi equation correlating the surface and the direction field.
