Defect dynamics in active smectics induced by confining geometry and topology

Blog Article

It is intriguing but challenging to control the complex dynamics of topological defects that emerge in jmannino.com nonequilibrium spatiotemporal systems.Through an effective modelling this work explores a viable way alarecre.com to controllably vary the properties of persistent defect dynamics in self-propelled active smectics via the competition of activity and boundary confinements with different topology and geometry.
