NMR studies and computer simulations of solutes in nematic liquid crystals

This thesis is concerned with the orientational and conformational behaviour of molecules partially oriented in a nematic liquid crystal. We have studied these systems experimentally using Multiple-Quantum NMR spectroscopy, and computationally using the Monte Carlo simulation method. An importan...
