Insight into ordering at nematic twist-bend interfaces
Szymon Drzazga, Piotr Kubala, Lech Longa
Twist-bend nematics formed by achiral particles support heliconical domains of opposite handedness. Using Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations of repulsive bent particles…
Confinement Reveals Hidden Splay-Bend Order in Twist-Bend Nematics
Szymon Drzazga, Piotr Kubala, Lech Longa
Using extensive Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigate how spatial confinement affects molecular organization within thin films of the nematic twi…
Ferroelectric nematic phase in the system of perfectly aligned cyllindrically symmetric rods
Agnieszka Chrzanowska, Lech Longa
The recent experimental discovery of ferroelectric and splay nematic phases has sparked interest in comprehending the crucial molecular features necessary to stabilize these innova…
Conformational degrees of freedom and stability of splay-bend ordering in the limit of a very strong planar anchoring
Lech Longa, Michał Cieśla, Paweł Karbowniczek +1
We study the self-organization of flexible planar trimer particles on a structureless surface. The molecules are made up of two mesogenic units linked by a spacer, all of which are…
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…
Twist-bend nematic phase from Landau-de Gennes perspective
Lech Longa, Wojciech Tomczyk
The understanding of self-organization in the twist-bend nematic phase, identified in 2011 in liquid crystal dimers, is at the forefront of soft matter research wor…
