Controlling Gaussian and mean curvatures at microscale by sublimation and condensation of smectic liquid crystals using a Linkam heating/cooling stage.

Researchers investigated controlling Gaussian and mean curvatures at microscale by sublimation and condensation of smectic liquid crystals using a Linkam heating/cooling stage (LTS350 now replaced by the LTS420)
