Biaxial nematics and nematic-nematic demixing in polydisperse mixtures of hard board-like particle fluids
Yuri Martinez-Raton, Daniel de las Heras, Enrique Velasco
We study the bulk phase behavior of a polydisperse liquid crystal fluid made of biaxial boards with restricted orientations using both fundamental measure theory and Monte Carlo co…
Sedimentation profiles and phase stacking diagrams in polydisperse hard rounded rectangle fluids
Tobias Eckert, Daniel de las Heras, Enrique Velasco +1
We analyze the sedimentation behavior of a polydisperse two-dimensional liquid-crystal fluid using a local density functional theory based on scaled particle theory. Polydispersity…
Defects in vibrated monolayers of equilateral triangular prisms
Jorge Vega, Enrique Velasco, Yuri Martinez-Raton
We present experimental results in which a quasimonolayer of grains, shaped as equilateral triangular prisms, is vertically vibrated within circular and square confining cavities.…
Cell theories for the chiral crystal phase of hard equilateral triangles
Yuri Martinez-Raton, Enrique Velasco
We derive several versions of the cell theory for a crystal phase of hard equilateral triangles. To that purpose we analytically calculated the free area of a frozen oriented or fr…
Density-functional theory for clustering of two-dimensional hard particle fluids
Yuri Martinez-Raton, Enrique Velasco
Fluids made of two-dimensional hard particles with polygonal shapes may stabilize symmetries which do not result directly from the particle shape. This is due to the formation of c…
Prediction of the liquid-crystal phase behavior of hard right triangles from fourth-virial density-functional theories
Enrique Velasco, Yuri Martinez-Raton
We have used an extended Scaled-Particle Theory that incorporates four-body correlations through the fourth-order virial coefficient to analyse the orientational properties of a fl…
