Computer simulation of liquid-crystal surface modification
– Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the interplay between two different anchoring effects of spherocylinders on a modified surface consisting of hard walls onto which liquid-crystal molecules have been perpendicularly grafted. By varying both the length and grafting density of the surface molecules, a number of different and novel anchoring regimes are observed including: pla...
متن کاملComputer simulation of liquid crystal mesophases
Il nostro gruppo di ricerca ha particolare esperienza nel campo delle simulazioni al calcolatore di sistemi anisotropi e cristalli liquidi. In questo contesto riassumiamo due recenti contributi, ottenuti utilizzando anche le infrastrutture del Cineca, nei due settori complementari delle simulazioni atomistiche e a livello molecolare. Our research group specializes in the subject of computer sim...
متن کاملNp85 Computer Simulation of Crystal Surface Modification by Accelerated Cluster Ion Impacts
Gas cluster ion impacts on a solid suface lead to a modification of the surface microscopic flatness in the case of normal ion impacts. In this work we have studied the surface smoothing effect under irradiation with cluster beams. Langevin Dynamics, based on a KPZ-type equation for discrete surface heights, allows us to confirm the experimental findings of surface modifications by gas cluster ...
متن کاملComputer simulation of liquid crystals
We review recent progress in the computer simulation of liquid crystals, with special emphasis on hard particle models. Surprisingly, the simplest molecular models, taking account only of molecular size and shape, are sufficient to generate a wide variety of liquid crystalline phases, closely analogous to those observed in real life. Thermodynamic stability of different phases is very sensitive...
متن کاملComputer simulation of liquid crystals
A review is presented of molecular and mesoscopic computer simulations of liquid crystalline systems. Molecular simulation approaches applied to such systems are described and the key findings for bulk phase behaviour are reported. Following this, recently developed lattice Boltzmann (LB) approaches to the mesoscale modelling of nemato-dynamics are reviewed. The article concludes with a discuss...
