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 ... -
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 ...
