Computer simulation of topological defects around a colloidal particle or droplet dispersed in a nematic host
D. Andrienko, G. Germano, M. P. Allen
We use molecular dynamics to study the ordering of a nematic liquid crystal around a spherical particle or droplet. Homeotropic boundary conditions and strong anchoring create a he…

Liquid crystal director fluctuations and surface anchoring by molecular simulation
D. Andrienko, G. Germano, M. P. Allen
We propose a simple and reliable method to measure the liquid crystal surface anchoring strength by molecular simulation. The method is based on the measurement of the long-range f…
