Geometric percolation of hard nanorods: the interplay of spontaneous and externally induced uniaxial particle alignment
Shari P. Finner, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Paul van der Schoot
We present a numerical study on geometric percolation in liquid dispersions of hard slender colloidal particles subjected to an external orienting field. In the formulation and liq…
Unusual geometric percolation of hard nanorods in the uniaxial nematic liquid crystalline phase
Shari P. Finner, Arshia Atashpendar, Tanja Schilling +1
We investigate by means of continuum percolation theory and Monte Carlo simulations how spontaneous uniaxial symmetry breaking affects geometric percolation in dispersions of hard…
Connectivity, Not Density, Dictates Percolation in Nematic Liquid Crystals of Slender Nanoparticles
Shari P. Finner, Tanja Schilling, Paul van der Schoot
We show by means of continuum theory and simulations that geometric percolation in uniaxial nematics of hard slender particles is fundamentally different from that in isotropic dis…
