Simulating Particle Dispersions in Nematic Liquid-Crystal Solvents
arXiv:cond-mat/0104268 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.87.075502
Abstract
A new method is presented for mesoscopic simulations of particle dispersions in nematic liquid crystal solvents. It allows efficient first-principle simulations of the dispersions involving many particles with many-body interactions mediated by the solvents. A simple demonstration is shown for the aggregation process of a two dimentional dispersion.
