Defect patterns of two-dimensional nematic liquid crystals in confinement
A two-dimensional or quasi-two-dimensional nematic liquid crystal refers to a surface-confined system. When such a system is further confined by external line boundaries or excluded from internal line boundaries, the nematic directors form a deformed texture that may display defect points or defect...
