• Ordering nano- and microparticles assemblies with liquid crystals (2013, background): “Later, several groups have used a combination of spontaneous self-assembly and manipulation by optical tweezers to direct the assembly and form 2D clusters or arrays [24,55,56] of monodisperse solid microspheres (see an example in Figure 6).”
• Shape-anisotropic colloids: Building blocks for complex assemblies (2011, background): “Mediated by the NLC elastic energy, the defects interact, resulting in long range and highly directional forces between the colloidal particles [66–68].”
• Colloquium: Disclination loops, point defects, and all that in nematic liquid crystals (2012, neutral): “Unfortunately, a precise explication of the other group which emerges when we merge two unlinked tori (i.e., with b ¼ 1) ‘‘top to bottom’’ (Nakanishi, Hayashi, and Mori, 1988) is outside the scope of this paper.”
