Spontaneous emergence of chirality in achiral lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals confined to cylinders

The presumed ground state of a nematic fluid confined in a cylindrical geometry with planar anchoring corresponds to that of an axial configuration, wherein the director, free of deformations, is along the long axis of the cylinder. However, upon confinement of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals in...
