Coupling the topological defect phase to the extrinsic curvature in nematic shells
In two dimensional nematics, topological defects are point like singularities with both a charge and a phase. We study the topological defects within curved nematic textures on the surface of a cylinder. This allows us to isolate the effect of extrinsic curvature on the structure of the topological...
