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…
Nematic-Isotropic Interfaces Under Shear: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Guido Germano, Friederike Schmid
We present a large-scale molecular dynamics study of nematic-paranematic interfaces under shear. We use a model of soft repulsive ellipsoidal particles with well-known equilibrium…
A Simple Computer Model for Liquid Lipid Bilayers
Olaf Lenz, Friederike Schmid
We present a simple coarse-grained bead-and-spring model for lipid bilayers. The system has been developed to reproduce the main (gel-liquid) transition of biological membranes on…
Molecular recognition in a lattice model: An enumeration study
Thorsten Bogner, Andreas Degenhard, Friederike Schmid
We investigate the mechanisms underlying selective molecular recognition of single heteropolymers at chemically structured planar surfaces. To this end, we study systems with two-l…
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…
Incorporating fluctuations and dynamics in self-consistent field theories for polymer blends
Marcus Mueller, Friederike Schmid
We review various methods to investigate the statics and the dynamics of collective composition fluctuations in dense polymer mixtures within fluctuating-field approaches. The cent…
