Smectic shells.

Teresa Lopez-Leon1, Alberto Fernandez-Nieves, Maurizio Nobili, Christophe Blanc.   

Abstract

Confining a smectic liquid crystal between two spherical surfaces results in the formation of a complex defect structure characterized by a set of curvature walls that divide the sphere into crescent domains, causing the undulation of the smectic layers. In this paper, we examine in detail these smectic textures and discuss the various possible origins of the observed patterns.
