de Gennes first pointed out, in the 1970s, the geometric analogy between the layers of a smectic liquid crystal and the phase structure of the wave function of a superconductor. He showed that a layered structure expels twist deformations just as a s

Monodisperse suspensions of rod like chiral fd viruses are condensed into a rod-length thick colloidal monolayers of aligned rods by depletion forces. Twist deformations of the molecules are expelled to the monolayer edge as in a chiral smectic A liq

In free standing films of one smectic C* material, Chisso 1015, we observe circular islands, of greater thickness than the background film. These islands, nucleated by smoke particles, grow to an equilibrium diameter that is a function of their thick

The textures associated with a point defect centered in a circular domain of a thin film with XY-like ordering have been analyzed. The family of equilibrium textures, both stable and metastable, can be classified by a new radial topological number in

We observe textures on polar smectic films, using a new approach to achieve the polar geometry. We concentrate on 2D confined circular domains, for which we observed a “boojum” pattern and a previously unobserved spiral texture that reverses it d

Coalescence is an essential phenomenon that governs the equilibrium behaviour in a variety of systems from intercellular transport to planetary formation. In this report, we study coalescence pathways of circularly shaped two-dimensional colloidal me

We report on an electro-optical study of a liquid-crystal\char21{}polymer composite system. This system is made by dissolving a small amount of acrylate monomers (8%) plus crosslinkers in a nematic liquid crystal, and then photopolymerizing the homog

We report a piezoelectric effect in cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomer gels. When we apply a shear stress to a cholesteric elastomer gel in the direction perpendicular to its helical axis, a polarization can be induced in the direction perpendi
