About this document
Topological Defects in Nematic Crystals by Luiz Felipe Locatelli Giroldo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document investigates the scattering of light in nematic liquid crystals containing topological defects, focusing on the structure factor S(k) at large wave-vector magnitudes. The authors derive power-law contributions to S(k) from singular order-parameter variations and thermal fluctuations, leading to the identification of the Porod tail associated with defects. The findings are applicable to various nematic systems and can aid in analyzing experimental data related to phase ordering and defect dynam
