Atomistic simulations of liquid crystals in the bulk and at their interfaces

In this thesis, we have dealt with several problems concerning liquid crystals (LC) phases, either in the bulk or at their interfaces, by the use of atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We first focused our attention on simulating and characterizing the bulk smectic phase of 4-n-octyl-4�...
