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…
Liquid Crystal-Solid Interface Structure at the Antiferroelectric-Ferroelectric Phase Transition
D. Coleman, S. Bardon, L. Radzihovsky +2
Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is used to probe the molecular organization at the surface of a tilted chiral smectic liquid crystal at temperatures in the vicinity of the bulk ant…
