Defects in Liquid Crystals: Computer Simulations, Theory and Experiments [E-Book] / edited by Oleg D. Lavrentovich, Paolo Pasini, Claudio Zannoni, Slobodan Žumer.
Topological defects are the subject of intensive studies in many different branches of physics ranging from cosmology to liquid crystals and from elementary particles to colloids and biological systems. Liquid crystals are fascinating materials which present a great variety of these mathematical obj...
