Pseudo-Casimir effect in nematic liquid crystals in frustrating geometries
We study theoretically the fluctuation-induced structural force in nematic systems frustrated by external fields. We focus on the uniform director structure in the hybrid-aligned film characterized by opposing surface fields and in the Freedericksz cell where frustration arises from competing bulk and surface fields. We find that frustration gives rise to several interesting features of the int...
متن کاملA Multi Plane Model for Natural Anisotropy of Sand
Anisotropy of sand is mainly due to the geometrical arrangement of particles that depends on the orientation of applied load respect to the bedding plane. It is geologically due to micro-fabric created by the arrangement of the particles configured during deposition. Most of the models develop using stress/strain invariants are not capable of identifying this kind of anisotropy. This is mainly ...
متن کاملTesting Neuronal Accounts of Anisotropic Motion Perception with Computational Modelling
There is an over-representation of neurons in early visual cortical areas that respond most strongly to cardinal (horizontal and vertical) orientations and directions of visual stimuli, and cardinal- and oblique-preferring neurons are reported to have different tuning curves. Collectively, these neuronal anisotropies can explain two commonly-reported phenomena of motion perception - the oblique...
متن کاملOn the possibility of Casimir repulsion using Metamaterials
It is well known that the Casimir force between two half-spaces is dictated by their electromagnetic properties. In particular, when one of the half-spaces is mainly metallic or dielectric and the other is mainly magnetic, it is possible to show that the force is repulsive. This has attracted lots of interest towards the study of metamterials (MMs) in the context of Casimir effect, as their mag...
متن کاملInvestigation of the strength and trend of seismic anisotropy beneath the Zagros collision zone
The Zagros collision zone is known as an active tectonic zone that represents the tectonic boundary between the Eurasian and Arabian plates. A popular strategy for gaining insight into the upper mantle processes is to examine the splitting of seismic shear waves and interpret them in terms of upper mantle anisotropy and deformation. Core phases SK(K)S from over 278 earthquakes (MW ≥ ...
