Controlling Gaussian and mean curvatures at microscale by sublimation and condensation of smectic liquid crystals

Soft materials with layered structure such as membranes, block copolymers and smectics exhibit intriguing morphologies with nontrivial curvatures. Here, we report restructuring the Gaussian and mean curvatures of smectic A films with free surface in the process of sintering, that is, reshaping at el...
