Quantifying memory: detection of focal conic domain rearrangement across a phase transition

https://doi.org/10.1039/D4SM00940A

Hare, Sean; de_la_Vega, Alexander; Serra, Francesca (March 2025, Soft Matter)

Smectic liquid crystals are confined in undulated micro-channels. The probability that, after heating and cooling, a smectic defect will form again in the same pocket drops if the system is heated to the isotropic phase but not to the nematic phase.
