What is Liquid Crystal Defects and Surface Effects about?
This review discusses various types of topological defects that can occur in liquid crystals, such as disclinations, dislocations, hedgehogs, and boojums. It covers experimental techniques like polarizing microscopy and fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy that are used to study defects in liquid crystals. Bounding surfaces play an important role through surface anchoring effects, which can stabilize defects in the bulk. Defects nucleate during phase transitions and their stability depends on the str
