Liquid Crystal Microswimmers - from single entities to collective dynamics
(2016-11-15)Recently, artificial self-propelled systems at low Reynolds numbers have gained a lot of attention. The main interest lies in mimicking well-studied systems, e.g. the active Brownian motion of bacteria, or in gaining deeper ... -
Liquid Crystals in Aqueous Ionic Surfactant Solutions: Interfacial Instabilities & Optical Applications
(2014-06-02)This thesis presents the properties and applications of various liquid crystal (LC)-aqueous ionic surfactant systems. It begins with the study of micellar solubilization of different LCs in aqueous ionic micellar solutions. ... -
Structure formation and dynamics in molecularly thin smectic liquid crystal films
(2013-08-05)This doctoral thesis presents a study of thin films of smectic liquid crystals. This class of material shows the property to form stable films of only a few molecules thickness both on substrates and freely suspended in ... -
Structures and Self-Organization at Liquid Crystal Interfaces: Surface Ordering and Anchoring
(2013-04-22)This dissertation concerns research on the structures and self-organization at liquid crystal interfaces laden with surface-active molecules. Of particular interest are the surface ordering phenomena occurring at interfaces ... -
Nematic Liquid Crystals and Nematic Colloids in Microfluidic Environment
(2013-02-22)The doctoral thesis presented here is one of the first systematic attempts to unravel the wonderful world of liquid crystals within microfluidic confinements, typically channels with dimensions of tens of micrometers. The ... -
AFM Untersuchungen an smektischen Flüssigkristallen
(2009-08-12)This thesis presents an experimental study of focal conic domains in smectic liquid crystal films on solid substrates. Focal conic domains are complex structures in smectic phases and are ...
