Theory and simulation of the nematic zenithal anchoring coefficient
arXiv:cond-mat/0203016 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.65.021704
Abstract
Combining molecular simulation, Onsager theory and the elastic description of nematic liquid crystals, we study the dependence of the nematic liquid crystal elastic constants and the zenithal surface anchoring coefficient on the value of the bulk order parameter.
