Change in Stripes for Cholesteric Shells via Anchoring in Moderation

Change in Stripes for Cholesteric Shells via Anchoring in Moderation

Chirality, ubiquitous in complex biological systems, can be controlled and quantified in synthetic materials such as cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) systems. In this work, we study spherical shells of CLC under weak anchoring conditions. We induce anchoring transitions at the inner and outer bounda...
