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…
Surface anchoring on layers of grafted liquid-crystalline chain molecules: A computer simulation
Harald Lange, Friederike Schmid
By Monte Carlo simulations of a soft ellipsoid model for liquid crystals, we study whether a layer of grafted liquid-crystalline chain molecules can induce tilt in a nematic fluid.…
