On the existence of a "splay(-bend)" nematic phase
Giorgio Cinacchi
On the basis of the application of the (Onsager) second-virial density functional theory to an artificial system that is so designed as to be the best promoter of a ``splay(-bend)'…
Non-nematicity of the filamentary phase in systems of hard minor circular arcs
Juan Pedro Ramírez González, Giorgio Cinacchi
This work further investigates an aspect of the phase behavior of hard circular arcs, whose phase diagram has been recently calculated by Monte Carlo numerical simulations: the non…
Phase behavior of hard circular arcs
Juan Pedro Ramírez González, Giorgio Cinacchi
By using Monte Carlo numerical simulation, this work investigates the phase behavior of systems of hard infinitesimally-thin circular arcs, from an aperture angle …
Dense packings of hard circular arcs
Juan Pedro Ramírez González, Giorgio Cinacchi
This work investigates dense packings of congruent hard infinitesimally--thin circular arcs in the two-dimensional Euclidean space. It focuses on those denotable as major whose sub…
Hard convex lens-shaped particles: Characterization of dense disordered packings
Giorgio Cinacchi, Salvatore Torquato
Among the family of hard convex lens-shaped particles (lenses), the one with aspect ratio equal to 2/3 is `optimal' in the sense that the maximally random jammed (MRJ) packings of…
Cholesteric and screw-like nematic phases in systems of helical particles
Giorgio Cinacchi, Alberta Ferrarini, Achille Giacometti +1
Recent numerical simulations of hard helical particle systems unveiled the existence of a novel chiral nematic phase, termed screw-like, characterised by the helical organization o…
