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…
Splay and polar order in a system of hard pear-like molecules: confrontation of Monte Carlo numerical simulations with density functional theory calculations
Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla
Recent experimental discoveries of novel nematic types with polar order, including ferroelectric nematic and splay nematic have brought the resurgence of the interest in polar and…
Splay-induced order in systems of hard wedges
Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla, Lech Longa
We studied equilibrium systems composed of wedge-shaped monodisperse molecules using hard-particle Monte Carlo simulations. Each model molecule was made up of six colinear tangent…
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…
