Sensing and tuning microfiber chirality with nematic chirogyral effect
2016
The authors use polarized optical microscopy to investigate director field structure around fibers immersed in a nematic medium. They demonstrate coupling between chirality of the fibers and mechanical response of tilted defect rings between domains of nematic molecules aligned along the fibers.
