Monte Carlo algorithm based on internal bridging moves for the atomistic simulation of thiophene oligomers and polymers
Flora D. Tsourtou, Stavros D. Peroukidis, Loukas D. Peristeras +1
We introduce a powerful Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm for the atomistic simulation of bulk models of oligo- and poly-thiophenes by redesigning MC moves originally developed for consid…
Molecular simulation study of polar order in orthogonal bent core smectic liquid crystals
Stavros D. Peroukidis, Alexandros G. Vanakaras, Demetri J. Photinos
We explore the phase behavior and structure of orthogonal smectic liquid crystals consisting of bent-core molecules (BCMs) by means of Monte Carlo molecular simulations. A simple a…
Tunable structures of mixtures of magnetic particles in liquid-crystalline matrices
Stavros D. Peroukidis, Ken Lichtner, Sabine H. L. Klapp
We investigate the self-organization of a binary mixture of similar sized rods and dipolar soft spheres by means of Monte-Carlo simulations. We model the interparticle interactions…
Spontaneous ordering of magnetic particles in liquid crystals: From chains to biaxial lamellae
Stavros D. Peroukidis, Sabine H. L. Klapp
Using Monte Carlo (MC) computer simulations we explore the self-assembly and ordering behavior of a hybrid, soft magnetic system consisting of small magnetic nano-spheres in a liqu…
Phase diagram of hard board like colloids from computer simulations
Stavros D. Peroukidis, Alexandros G. Vanakaras
The rich mesophase polymorhism and the phase sequence of board-like colloids depends critically on their shape anisometry. Implementing extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we calcul…
Molecular simulation of hierarchical structures in bent-core nematics
Stavros D. Peroukidis, Alexandros G. Vanakaras, Demetri J. Photinos
The structure of nematic liquid crystals formed by bent-core mesogens (BCMs) is studied in the context of Monte Carlo simulations of a simple molecular model that captures the symm…
Liquid crystalline phases and demixing in binary mixtures of shape-anisometric colloids
Stavros Peroukidis, Alexandros G. Vanakaras, Demetri J. Photinos
A theoretical model of shape-anisometric particles embedded in a cubic lattice is formulated for binary mixtures combining rod-like, plate-like and spherical particles. The model a…
Biaxial nematics: symmetries, order domains and field-induced phase transitions
Stavros D. Peroukidis, Panagiota K. Karahaliou, Alexandros G. Vanakaras +1
We study the symmetry and the spatial uniformity of orientational order of the biaxial nematic phase in the light of recent experimental observations of phase biaxiality in thermot…
A simple theory of molecular organization in fullerene containing liquid crystals
S. D. Peroukidis, A. G. Vanakaras, D. J. Photinos
Systematic efforts to synthesise fullerene containing LCs have produced a variety of successful model compounds. We present a simple molecular theory relating the self-organisation…
