Programmable Smectic Defects via Holographic Surface Reliefs
In article 2500233, Conglong Yuan, Zhi-Gang Zheng, and co-workers demonstrate pixelated holographic surface reliefs to manipulate the self-assembly of smectic liquid crystal defect structures. This strategy enables selective formation and coexistence of oily streak defect walls and square focal conic domains, offering a versatile platform for advanced defect engineering with tunable optical functionalities.
