Self organized instabilities of liquid crystal droplets and ultrathin films

Abstract

Liquid crystal LC is the one of the states of matter which lies between solid and liquid The molecules in this phase do not have positional order but have orientational order only Because of this it has both solid like anisotropic electrical magnetic and optical properties and liquid like fluidity and coalescence Therefore it is used in the many of the advanced applications For example in displays LC temperature sensors biomedical applications electronics optical imaging and sw
