The authors demonstrated epitaxial assembly of SmA LCs using top-down fabricated polymer pillar arrays. The 3-dimensional nature of the pillar array is crucial to confine and direct the formation of toric focal conic domains on the top of each pillar as well as between neighboring pillars. Independent of LC thickness (above a critical thickness hc), the pattern of SU-8 pillar arrays determined the final crystal habit of the toric focal conic domain array (TFCD): both highly ordered square and hexagonal array of TFCDs were obtained. The epitaxial approach presented here offers an entirely new and promising organizational principle for smectic LC systems using simple topog. substrates. In turn, it may give more complex LC phases in 3-dimensional that are critical to the advancement of LC-based electronic and optical devices,’25,26′ and perhaps generation of novel materials when incorporating functional units such as nanoparticles, nanocrystals, and carbon nanotubes into the LC layers.
