Abstract
Microscopic theory is used to obtain effective interactions between colloidal particles in nematic fluids subjected to an external orienting field. It is shown that the field can dramatically change the effective intercolloidal interactions without altering the symmetry of the director configuration around a single particle. Our calculations suggest that a rich variety of colloidal structures can be promoted by varying the external field.
