We study the orientational ordering properties of some quasi-one-dimensional hard-body
fluids, where the anisotropic particles are confined to a straight line, while they are free to …

We study a two-state model of attractive hard rods using the transfer matrix method, where
the centers of the particles are confined to a straight line, but the orientations of the rods can …

The phase behavior and structural properties of hard anisotropic particles (prisms and
dumbbells) are examined in one-dimensional channels using the Parsons–Lee (PL) theory …

We re-examine the ordering behavior of a one-dimensional fluid of freely rotating hard
needles, where the centers of mass of the particles are restricted to a line. Analytical …

The phase behavior and structural properties of a monolayer of hard particles is examined in
such a confinement where the adsorbed particles are constrained to the surface of a narrow …

We demonstrate the large-scale effects of the interplay between shape and hard-core
interactions in a system with left-and right-pointing arrowheads<> on a line, with …

We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional fluid of orientable hard rectangles with a non-
coarse-grained microscopic mechanism of facilitation. The length occupied by a rectangle …

We demonstrate the large scale effects of the interplay between shape and hard core
interactions in a system with left-and right-pointing arrowheads~ $\textless~~\textgreater …

This thesis describes our investigation of microstructure and phase behavior in colloids and
liquid crystals. The first set of experiments explores the phase behavior of helical packings of …
