Entropy driven formation of Smectic C in system of Zig-zag shaped molecules
Prabal K. Maiti, Yves Lansac, Matthew A. Glaser +1
We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations of zig-zag shaped molecules where the the molecules is composed of three rigidly linked hard spherocylinder arranged in a zigzag fashion…
Discrete Elastic Model for Two-dimensional Melting
Yves Lansac, Matthew A. Glaser, Noel A. Clark
Our previous molecular dynamic simulation studies of simple two-dimensional (2D) systems \cite{matt_big} suggested that both geometrical defects (localized, large-amplitude deviati…
Phase Behavior of Bent-Core Molecules
Yves Lansac, Prabal K. Maiti, Noel A. Clark +1
Recently, a new class of smectic liquid crystal phases (SmCP phases) characterized by the spontaneous formation of macroscopic chiral domains from achiral bent-core molecules has b…
Self-assembly in Lyotropic Chromonic Liquid Crystals
Prabal K. Maiti, Yves Lansac, Matthew A. Glaser +1
We have developed a class of idealized models of chromonic molecules which are miscible in water, but which can form aggregates which in turn organize into lyotropic liquid crystal…
Induced Anticlinic Ordering and Nanophase Segregation of Bow-Shaped Molecules in a Smectic Solvent
Prabal K. Maiti, Yves Lansac, Matthew A. Glaser +1
Recent experiments indicate that doping low concentrations of bent-core molecules into calamitic smectic solvents can induce anticlinic and biaxial smectic phases. We have carried…
