Condensed Matter Seminar: "Bending Rules in Graphene Kirigami"

Gene Mele (University of Pennsylvania)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A4

The three dimensional shapes of graphene sheets produced by nanoscale cut-and--join kirigami are studied by combining large-scale atomistic modelling with continuum elastic theory. Lattice segments are selectively…

*Special Topology Seminar*: "Topological Soft Matter"

Slobodan Žumer
David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A4

We use the term “topological soft matter” for systems with stable defects in the orientational order-parameter field. In nematogenic liquid crystals the effects of confining geometry, chirality, or interplay of both…
