- W3111279710 abstract "The role of boundary layers in conventional liquid crystals is commonly subsumed in their anchoring on confining walls. In the classical view, anchoring enslaves the orientational field of the passive material under equilibrium conditions. In this work, we experimentally explore the role of confining walls in the behavior of an active nematic. We find that, under slip boundary conditions, the wall induces the accumulation of negatively charged topological defects in its vicinity, resulting in the formation of a topological boundary layer that polarizes the wall. While the dynamics of wall and bulk defects are decoupled, we find that the active boundary layer influences the overall dynamics of the system, to the point of fully controlling the behavior of the active nematic in situations of strong confinement. Finally, we show that wall defects exhibit behaviors that are essentially different from those of their bulk counterparts, such as high motility or the ability to recombine with another defect of like-sign topological charge. These exotic behaviors result from a change of symmetry induced by the wall in the director field around the defect. Finally, we show that the collective dynamics of wall defects can be described in terms of a one-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky -like description of spatio-temporal chaos." @default.
