Coulomb-like elastic interaction induced by symmetry breaking in nematic liquid crystal colloids

It is generally thought that colloidal particles in a nematic liquid crystal do not generate the first multipole term called deformation elastic charge as it violates the mechanical equilibrium. Here, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that this is not the case, and deformation elastic...
