Recent Progresses on Experimental Investigations of Topological and Dissipative Solitons in Liquid Crystals

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

Solitons in liquid crystals have received increasing attention due to their importance in fundamental physical science and potential applications in various fields. The study of solitons in liquid crystals has been carried out for over five decades with various kinds of solitons being reported. Recently, a number of new types of solitons have been observed, among which, many of them exhibit intriguing dynamic behaviors. In this paper, we briefly review the recent progresses on experimental investigations of solitons in liquid crystals.
