The position of the particles was controlled using the elasticity of the nematic liquid crystal. The system's free energy can be described as a function of the position and angle of the particles. Furthermore, the controlling force on the particles was numerically analyzed. The trajectory of the particles inside the liquid crystal can be visualized.
