Dataset for Thick Liquid Crystalline Cholesteric Shells

Abstract

The dataset is organized in directories containing the data used to produce Fig. 1-5 in the article "Thick liquid crystalline cholesteric shells" (ArXiv identifier: arXiv:2501.00516) Each director contains subdirectories for each panel in the corresponding figure.
