2 Jan 2020 | | Abstract: | Pure liquids in thermodynamic equilibrium are structurally homogeneous. In
liquid crystals, flow and light pulses are used to create reconfigurable
domains with polar order. Moreover, through careful engineering of concerted
microfluidic flows and localized opto-thermal fields, it is possible to achieve
complete control over the nucleation, growth, and shape of such domains.
Experiments, theory, and simulations indicate that the resulting structures can
be stabilized indefinitely, provided the liquids are maintained in a controlled
non-equilibrium state. The resulting sculpted liquids could find applications
in microfluidic devices for selective encapsulation of solutes and particles
into optically active compartments that interact with external stimuli. | | Source: | arXiv, 2001.0552 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
