Curvature-induced smectic-C order of tangentially anchored hard spherocylinders on a sphere with a rigidly locked director field
Curvature on a sphere induces smectic-C order in tangentially locked hard spherocylinders, with closed-form angle predictions and Monte Carlo confirmation across 15 geometries showing no fitted constants.
