Molecular simulation and theory of a liquid crystalline disclination core
D. Andrienko, M. P. Allen
Molecular simulations of a nematic liquid crystal confined in cylinder geometry with homeotropic anchoring have been carried out. The core structure of a disclination line defect o…
Nematic director slippage: Role of the angular momentum of light
D. Andrienko, V. Reshetnyak, Yu. Reznikov +1
We propose a theoretical model of the light-induced director slippage effect. In this effect the bulk director reorientation contributes to the surface director reorientation It is…
Computer simulation of topological defects around a colloidal particle or droplet dispersed in a nematic host
D. Andrienko, G. Germano, M. P. Allen
We use molecular dynamics to study the ordering of a nematic liquid crystal around a spherical particle or droplet. Homeotropic boundary conditions and strong anchoring create a he…
Liquid crystal director fluctuations and surface anchoring by molecular simulation
D. Andrienko, G. Germano, M. P. Allen
We propose a simple and reliable method to measure the liquid crystal surface anchoring strength by molecular simulation. The method is based on the measurement of the long-range f…
