We investigate a counterintuitive geometric interaction between defects and curvature in thin layers of superfluids, superconductors and liquid crystals deposited on curved surfaces. Each defect feels a geometric potential whose functional…
The failure of roughness parameters to predict surface properties stems from their inherent scale-dependence; in other words, the measured value depends on the way it was measured. Here we take advantage of this scale-dependence to develop…
