Segregation of liquid crystal mixtures in topological defects

Liquid crystal mixtures are used in commercial applications and their composition affects their properties. Here Rahimiet al. use atomistic simulations to show that defects influence the molecular arrangement of the mixture components leading to a deviation of the local order from that of the bulk.
