Heterogeneous Dynamics in Columnar Liquid Crystals of Parallel Hard Rods
Simone Belli, Alessandro Patti, René van Roij +1
In the wake of previous studies on the rattling-and-jumping diffusion in smectic liquid crystal phases of colloidal rods, we analyze here for the first time the heterogeneous dynam…

Molecular Modeling of Self-assembling Hybrid Materials (PhD Thesis)
Alessandro Patti
Lattice Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the phase behavior of self-assembling ordered mesoporous materials formed by an organic template with amphiphilic properties and a…

Collective Diffusion of Colloidal Hard Rods in Smectic Liquid Crystals: Effect of Particle Anisotropy
Alessandro Patti, Djamel El Masri, René van Roij +1
We study the layer-to-layer diffusion in smectic-A liquid crystals of colloidal hard rods with different length-to-diameter ratios using computer simulations. The layered arrangeme…
