Bistable anchoring of nematics on rough substrates
Friederike Schmid, David L. Cheung
We analyze the interplay between wetting and anchoring of nematic liquid crystals on disordering, e.g., rough substrates in the framework of the Landau-de Gennes theory, in situati…
Structure of a liquid crystalline fluid around a macroparticle: Density functional theory study
David L. Cheung, Michael P. Allen
The structure of a molecular liquid, in both the nematic liquid crystalline and isotropic phases, around a cylindrical macroparticle, is studied using density functional theory. In…
Theory of liquid crystal anchoring at a porous surface
David L. Cheung
Using classical density functional theory (DFT) the effect of bringing a liquid crystal (LC) into contact with a porous substrate or matrix is investigated. The DFT used is a combi…
Isotropic-nematic transition in liquid crystals confined between rough walls
David L Cheung, Friederike Schmid
The effect of rough walls on the phase behaviour of a confined liquid crystal (LC) fluid is studied using constant pressure Monte Carlo simulations. The LC is modelled as a fluid o…
Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystals near rough walls
David Cheung, Friederike Schmid
The effect of surface roughness on the structure of liquid crystalline fluids near solid substrates is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The liquid crystal is modelled as a fluid…
A density functional theory study of the confined soft ellipsoid fluid
David Cheung, Friederike Schmid
A system of soft ellipsoid molecules confined between two planar walls is studied using classical Density Functional Theory (DFT). Both the isotropic and nematic phases are conside…
