Free-Energy Functional Approach to Inverse Problems for Self-Assembly of Three-Dimensional Crystals
Masashi Torikai
In this study, a variational method for the inverse problem of self-assembly, i.e., a reconstruction of the interparticle interaction potential of a given structure, is applied to…
Free-Energy Functional Method for Inverse Problem of Self Assembly
Masashi Torikai
A new theoretical approach is described for the inverse self-assembly problem, i.e., the reconstruction of the interparticle interaction from a given structure. This theory is base…
Equation of State for Parallel Rigid Spherocylinders
Masashi Torikai
The pair distribution function of monodisperse rigid spherocylinders is calculated by Shinomoto's method, which was originally proposed for hard spheres. The equation of state is d…
Smectic-A Free Standing Film of Lennard-Jones Spherocylinder Model
Masashi Torikai
A spherocylinder-like molecule with a Lennard-Jones type interaction is proposed as a model of smectic-A (Sm-A) liquid crystals, which can form a free-standing film. By means of Gi…
Successive Phase Transitions in Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystal Systems
Masaya Koroishi, Masashi Torikai, Mamoru Yamashita
An axial next-nearest-neighbor XY model is studied as a model of chiral liquid crystals which exhibit many ferro-, ferri- and antiferroelectric tilted smectic phases. Depending on…
Influence of Homeotropic Anchoring Walls upon Nematic and Smectic Phases
Masashi Torikai, Mamoru Yamashita
McMillan liquid crystal model sandwiched between strong homeotropic anchoring walls is studied. Phase transitions between isotropic, nematic, and smectic A phases are investigated…
