Inderdigitation, double twist, and topological defects in a system of hard lollipops

Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla

Using hard particle Monte Carlo simulations, we studied a three-dimensional system consisting of identical, lollipop-like particles. Each lollipop was built of five identical, tang…

Random sequential adsorption of aligned regular polygons and rounded squares: Transition in the kinetics of packing growth

Michał Cieśla, Piotr Kubala, Aref Abbasi Moud

We study two-dimensional random sequential adsorption (RSA) of flat polygons and rounded squares aligned in parallel to find a transition in the asymptotic behavior of the kinetics…

In silico study of liquid crystalline phases formed by bent-shaped molecules with excluded-volume type interactions

Piotr Kubala, Wojciech Tomczyk, Michał Cieśla

We have numerically studied a liquid composed of achiral, bent-shaped molecules built of tangent spheres. The system is known to spontaneously break mirror symmetry, as it forms a…
