Topological zoo of free-standing knots in confined chiral nematic fluids
2014
Knotted structures can be stabilized in nematic liquid crystals using colloidal particles. Here the authors demonstrate theoretically and numerically that metastable free-standing knots can also be realized in cholesteric droplets, and their topology is determined by chirality and confinement conditions.
