Theory and simulation studies of self-assembly of helical particle
Giorgio Cinacchi, Alberta Ferrarini, Elisa Frezza +2
This is the unedited authors' version of Chapter 3 appearing in the following book: Self-Assembly Systems: Theory and Simulations Ed. Li-Tang Yan John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester…
Left or right cholesterics? A matter of helix handedness and curliness
Elisa Frezza, Alberta Ferrarini, Hima Bindu Kolli +2
We have investigated the relationship between the morphology of helical particles and the features of the cholesteric (N) phase that they form. Using an Onsager-like theory…
From rods to helices: evidence of a screw-like nematic phase
Hima Bindu Kolli, Elisa Frezza, Giorgio Cinacchi +3
Evidence of a special chiral nematic phase is provided using numerical simulation and Onsager theory for systems of hard helical particles. This phase appears at the high density e…
