Topology-dependent self-structure mediation and efficient energy conversion in heat-flux-driven rotors of cholesteric droplets
When heat flux is applied to a chiral liquid crystal, unidirectional rotation is induced around the flux axis, as first discovered by Otto Lehmann in 1900. In recent years, this heat-flux-induced phenomenon has been studied mostly in droplets of cholesteric liquid crystals undergoing phase transitio...
