Mesogenic materials exhibit a multitude of transitions involving new phases. Studies of
these phases are of importance in a wide range of scientific fields and as such have …

We review a theory of freezing based on the density-functional approach andcompare a
variety of its versions. The application of the theory to the freezing of various simple and …

The theory of intermolecular forces has advanced very greatly in recent years. It has become
possible to carry out accurate calculations of intermolecular forces for molecules of useful …

Exploring recent developments in the field, Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and
Biomolecular Systems examines systematic ways of constructing coarse-grained …

Liquid crystals are partially ordered systems without a rigid, long-range structure. The study
of these materials covers a wide area: chemical structure, physical properties and technical …

A semiclassical theory of the width and shift of isolated infrared and Raman lines in the gas
phase is developed within the impact approximation. A parabolic trajectory model …

We consider a system of rodlike molecules interacting with a model pair potential φ (r σ),
where r is the center-of-mass distance and σ is an angle-dependent range parameter. It is …

In this paper we report computer simulation results for bulk Gay-Berne fluids with anisotropy
parameters κ= 3 and κ′= 5. Using molecular dynamics simulations in the NVT ensemble …
