Formation of a Columnar Liquid Crystal in a Simple One-Component System of Particles
Alfredo Metere, Tomas Oppelstrup, Sten Sarman +1
We report a molecular dynamics simulation demonstrating that a columnar liquid crystal, commonly formed by disc-shaped molecules, can be formed by identical particles interacting v…

A simple monatomic ideal glass former: the glass transition by a first-order phase transition above the melting point
Måns Elenius, Tomas Oppelstrup, Mikhail Dzugutov
A liquid can form under cooling a glassy state either as a result of a continuous slowing down or by a first order polyamorphous phase transition. The second scenario has so far al…
