Non-Gaussian Dynamics in Smectic Liquid Crystals of Parallel Hard Rods
Rik Matena, Marjolein Dijkstra, Alessandro Patti
Using computer simulations, we studied the diffusion and structural relaxation in equilibrium smectic liquid crystal bulk phases of parallel hard spherocylinders. These systems exh…

Dynamical Heterogeneities and Cooperative Motion in Smectic Liquid Crystals
A. Patti, D. El Masri, R. van Roij +1
Using simulations of hard rods in smectic-A states, we find non-gaussian diffusion and heterogeneous dynamics due to the equilibrium periodic smectic density profiles, which give r…
