PSSM Workshop on Liquid Crystals and Colloidal Dispersions
Colloidal nematostatics
Victor Pergamenshchik, Institute of Physics
Abstract: Colloids interact via the nematic director. As the interaction is of a long range, nematic colloids are much closer to electrostatic systems than to standard colloids in isotropic liquids. I will talk about an elastic "charge" and elastic mutipoles, about their interaction and strange properties, e.g., elastic charge is a vector, elastic dipole can be chiral... and more.
