We study the important n‐cyanobiphenyl (with n= 4–8) series of mesogens, using modelling
and molecular dynamics simulations. We are able to obtain spontaneously ordered …

Shear induced alignment of elongated particles is studied experimentally and numerically.
We show that shear alignment of ensembles of macroscopic particles is comparable even …

We report the results of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of 4-n-octyl-4′
cyanobiphenyl (8CB) on samples of 750 and 3000 molecules showing the spontaneous …

We report on a first experimental study of the molecular properties of nematic liquid crystals
in the terahertz range. In the beginning, we extract the frequency and temperature …

We have studied, using Monte Carlo computer simulations, the effects that nanoparticles of
similar size and three different shapes (spherical, elongated and discotic) dispersed at …

High-resolution calorimetric techniques have substantially contributed in characterising and
understanding the delicate thermal behaviour near many phase transitions in liquid crystals …

We report high-sensitivity and high-temperature resolution experimental data for the
temperature dependence of the optical birefringence of a nonpolar monolayer smectogen 4 …

We have performed an atomistic molecular‐dynamics study on the molecular organization
and liquid‐crystalline properties of quinquephenyl (P5), a prototypical mesogen that is of …

We explore the nematic ordering of the rodlike liquid crystals 5CB and 6CB, embedded into
parallel-aligned nanochannels in mesoporous silicon and silica membranes as a function of …
