Are stress-free membranes really 'tensionless'?
Friederike Schmid
In recent years it has been argued that the tension parameter driving the fluctuations of fluid membranes, differs from the imposed lateral stress, the 'frame tension'. In particul…
Tunable-slip boundaries for coarse-grained simulations of fluid flow
Jens Smiatek, Michael P. Allen, Friederike Schmid
On the micro- and nanoscale, classical hydrodynamic boundary conditions such as the no-slip condition no longer apply. Instead, the flow profiles exhibit ``slip`` at the surface, w…
Nematic liquid crystals at rough and fluctuating interfaces
Jens Elgeti, Friederike Schmid
Nematic liquid crystals at rough and fluctuating interfaces are analyzed within the Frank elastic theory and the Landau-de Gennes theory. We study specifically interfaces that loca…
An anchoring transition at surfaces with grafted liquid-crystalline chain molecules
Harald Lange, Friederike Schmid
The anchoring of nematic liquid crystals on surfaces with grafted liquid crystalline chain molecules is studied by computer simulations and within a mean field approach. The comput…
Stabilization of tilt order by chain flexibility in Langmuir monolayers
F. Schmid
Langmuir monolayers are modeled as systems of short chains, which are confined to a planar surface at one end, but free to move within the plane. The phase behavior is calculated i…
Influence of the Head Group Size on the Direction of Tilt in Langmuir Monolayers
F. Schmid, H. Lange
A model of rods with heads of variable size, which are confined to a planar surface, is used to study the influence of the head group size on tilted phases in Langmuir monolayers.…
