Defects in vertically vibrated monolayers of cylinders
Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Johannes Renner, Daniel de las Heras +2
We analyse liquid-crystalline ordering in vertically vibrated monolayers of cylinders confined in a circular cavity. Short cylinders form tetratic arrangements with C symmetry.…
Dynamical properties of heterogeneous nucleation of parallel hard squares
Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Yuri Martinez-Raton, Enrique Velasco
We use the Dynamic Density-Functional Formalism and the Fundamental Measure Theory as applied to a fluid of parallel hard squares to study the dynamics of heterogeneous growth of n…
Ordering of hard rectangles in strong confinement
Peter Gurin, Szabolcs Varga, Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto +2
Using transfer operator and fundamental measure theories, we examine the structural and thermodynamic properties of hard rectangles confined between two parallel hard walls. The si…
Clustering in vibrated monolayers of granular rods
Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Florentino Borondo, Yuri Martinez-Raton +1
We investigate the ordering properties of vertically-vibrated monolayers of granular cylinders in a circular container at high packing fraction. In line with previous works by othe…
Biaxial nematic phase stability and demixing behaviour in monolayers of rod-plate mixtures
Yuri Martinez-Raton, Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Enrique Velasco
We theoretically study the phase behaviour of monolayers of hard rod-plate mixtures using a fundamental-measure density functional in the restricted-orientation (Zwanzig) approxima…
Phase behaviour and correlations of parallel hard squares: From highly confined to bulk systems
Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Yuri Martinez-Raton, Szabolcs Varga +2
We study a fluid of two-dimensional parallel hard squares in bulk and under confinement in channels, with the aim of evaluating the performance of Fundamental-Measure Theory (FMT).…
Effect of shape biaxiality on the phase behavior of colloidal liquid-crystal monolayers
Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Yuri Martinez-Raton, Enrique Velasco +1
We extend our previous work on monolayers of uniaxial particles [J. Chem. Phys. 140, 204906 (2014)] to study the effect of particle biaxiality on the phase behavior of liquid-cryst…
Liquid-crystal patterns of rectangular particles in a square nanocavity
Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Yuri Martinez-Raton, Enrique Velasco
Using density-functional theory in the restricted-orientation approximation, we analyse the liquid-crystal patterns and phase behaviour of a fluid of hard rectangular particles con…
