Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Layer topology of smectic grain boundaries

arXiv:2312.08964v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: Grain boundaries in extremely confined colloidal smectics possess a topological fine structure with coexisting nematic and tetratic symmetry of the director field. An alternative way to approach the problem of smectic topology is via the layer structure, which is typically more accessible in experiments on molecular liquid crystals. Here, we consider exemplary density functional theory results for two-dimensional hard rods to illustrate how the concept of endpoint defects, which appear as tetratic disclinations of quarter charge in director topology, translates to smectic layer topology built around the networks formed by density maxima and minima. By doing so, we elaborate on further advantages of a topological concept evolving around the layer structure rather than the director field, such as providing insight in the structure of edge dislocations or virtual defects at the confining walls.
