Extended Data Fig. 3: Computer-simulated formation of 1 from a fibre-like fragment.

From: Liquid crystal defect structures with Möbius strip topology

Extended Data Fig. 3

a-c, Computer simulated cross-sections in the horizontal midplane of a straight fibre-like fragment (a), a curved fibre-like fragment (b) and a 1 (c). The intersections of singular vortex lines in the sample midplanes shown in (a) and (b) are depicted with the red filled circles. The director field is shown with cylinders coloured according to director orientations based on the bottom-right inset in (a).
