The aggregation of individual molecules into a final structure via self-assembly is one of the most exciting research areas in condensed matter physics. Soft building blocks, which have the ability to self-organize into ordered structures, represent an extremely versatile class of materials for potential. Because the control of soft building block is required for applications, the topographic patterning of surfaces by lithography has emerged as a powerful tool for producing single domains of various kinds of soft materials. Here, the use of surface topography is extended to the organization of rod-type and bent-core molecules exhibit rich and exciting morphologies but have proven to very difficult to align. Growth under conditions of confinement in rectangular topographic channels is found to produce completely new growth morphology, generating highly ordered focal conic defects and an exotic array of twisted filaments that are influenced very little by classic alignment methods. |
