Particle-resolved topological defects of smectic colloidal liquid crystals in extreme confinement
Colloidal rod-like mesogens make the study of liquid crystal structures available to simple optical microscopy. Wittmann et al. study topological defects in smectic phases under annular confinement and reveal a remarkable, quantitative agreement with a theoretic density functional description.
