Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystals between microstructured substrates
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)
The structure of a model liquid crystalline fluid confined between two microstructured substrates is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. A simple model for a structured substrate, similar in spirit to those used for ...
Influence of chemical composition on the fluorescence lifetimes of crude petroleum oils
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2003)
Fluorescence based methods are increasingly being used for the analysis of crude oils because they offer high speed, low
cost, non-contact, and non-destructive testing options. The fluorescence of crude oils is due to the ...
Effect of substrate geometry on liquid-crystal-mediated nanocylinder-substrate interactions
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)
Using classical density functional theory, the liquid crystal (LC)-mediated interaction between a cylindrical nanoparticle and a structured substrate is studied. The surface is structured by cutting a rectangular groove ...
