High-order elastic multipoles as colloidal atoms

When colloidal particles are placed into a liquid crystal host the anisotropic surface interactions produce spatial elastic distortions described as elastic multipoles. Here the authors provide a recipe to construct higher order multipoles, in particular the 16-, 32-, and 64-poles.
