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…
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…
Similarity and Dissimilarity between Influences of Anchoring Walls and of External Fields on Nematic and Smectic A Phases
M. Torikai, M. Yamashita
The McMillan liquid crystalline models under the influence of homeotropic anchoring walls and of external fields are investigated. For thin systems, the existence of the critical t…
Isotropic, Nematic and Smectic A Phase Behaviour in a Fictitious Field
Masashi Torikai, Mamoru Yamashita
Phase behaviours of liquid crystals under external fields, conjugate to the nematic order and smectic order, are studied within the framework of mean field approximation developed…
