Example of defect orientation tracking method. A highly defective sample undergoes a relaxational dynamics. The position and orientation of the defects is tracked using the method described in the main text.
Relaxational dynamics of a pair of +1/2 disclinations with initial distance d=L/3 (with L the system size) and initial tilt Δψ=0°.
Relaxational dynamics of a pair of ±1/2 disclinations with initial distance d=L/3 (with L the system size) and initial tilt Δψ=0°.
Relaxational dynamics of a pair of -1/2 disclinations with initial distance d=L/3 (with L the system size) and initial tilt Δψ=0°.
