Topographically induced hierarchical assembly and geometrical transformation of focal conic domain arrays in smectic liquid crystals

Controlling topological defects in 3D liquid crystal phases is a crucial element in the development of novel devices, from blue-phase displays to passive biochemical sensors. However, it remains challenging to realize the 3D topological conditions necessary to robustly and arbitrarily direct the for...
