Emmett L. Bennett, Jr. Offprint Collection
The scholarly library of Emmett L. Bennett, Jr. compiled in the course of his Editorship of the journal Nestor (founded in 1957). The collection includes scholarly publications (offprints) and manuscripts sent by prospective authors to Dr. Bennett. Includes a Finding Aid (PDF and Word) and Catalog (an Excel document for each of two record groups: offprints collected up to 1995, and offprints collected from 1995-2011). Both the Finding Aid and Catalog are provided to facilitate researchers' searches for offprints by author, title, journal, year, and subject.Classic
Fast algorithms for liquid crystal modelling
We review different modeling and computational methods to determine the Q-tensor representation of the director field alignment in the absence of defects. Under this condition it is possible to represent the reorientation dynamics of the director field as the motion of the Q-tensor over an invariant manifold. This new representation allows us to develop very accurate codes for the alignment that are orders of magnitude faster than an equivalent full Q-tensor code. We illustrate this principle by discussing the case of a pure liquid crystal with or without flow and the case of a liquid crystal doped with fixed metallic nano-inclusions

Modeling large air fraction holey optical fibers
We develop a modal decomposition approach to solve the full vector wave equation for holey optical fibers (HF). This model can be used to explore the modal properties of a wide range of HFs, including those with large air holes. The optical properties of HF can be tailored via the arrangement of the air holes, and this flexibility leads to a wide range of practical applications
