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…
