DESCRIPTION:The epitaxial assembly of toric focal conic domain (TFCD) arra
 ys of smectic-A liquid crystals onto pillar arrays is studied. The 3D natu
 re of the pillar array is crucial to confine and direct the formation of T
 FCDs on the top of each pillar and between neighboring pillars\, leading t
 o highly ordered square and hexagonal array TFCDs persisting deeply into t
 he bulk.\n
