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…
Local structure in nematic and isotropic liquid crystals
Nguyen H. Phuong, Friederike Schmid
By computer simulations of systems of ellipsoids, we study the influence of the isotropic/nematic phase transition on the direct correlation functions (DCF) in anisotropic fluids.…
Fluctuation effects in ternary AB+A+B polymeric emulsions
Dominik Düchs, Venkat Ganesan, Glenn H. Fredrickson +1
We present a Monte Carlo approach to incorporating the effect of thermal fluctuations in field theories of polymeric fluids. This method is applied to a field-theoretic model of a…
Density Functional for Anisotropic Fluids
Giorgio Cinacchi, Friederike Schmid
We propose a density functional for anisotropic fluids of hard body particles. It interpolates between the well-established geometrically based Rosenfeld functional for hard sphere…
Spatial Order in Liquid Crystals: Computer Simulations of Systems of Ellipsoids
Friederike Schmid, Nguyen H. Phuong
Computer simulations of simple model systems for liquid crystals are briefly reviewed, with special emphasis on systems of ellipsoids. First, we give an overview over some of the m…
Surface anchoring on liquid crystalline polymer brushes
Harald Lange, Friederike Schmid
We present a Monte Carlo study of the surface anchoring of a nematic fluid on swollen layers of grafted liquid crystalline chain molecules. The liquid crystalline particles are mod…
