Magnetic field-induced vortex triplet and vortex lattice in a liquid crystal cell
Enrique Calisto, Marcel G. Clerc, Valeska Zambra
Abstract
The authors show the emergence of a vortex triplet and a topological vortex lattice as a consequence of the combined effect of a magnetic ring and the uniform electric field onto a homeotropic nematic liquid crystal.
