Nanoconfinement-Induced Structures in Chiral Liquid Crystals

Nanoconfinement-Induced Structures in Chiral Liquid Crystals

We employ Monte Carlo simulations in a specialized isothermal-isobaric and in the grand canonical ensemble to study structure formation in chiral liquid crystals as a function of molecular chirality. Our model potential consists of a simple Lennard-Jones potential, where the attractive contribution...
