Confinement of two-dimensional rods in slit pores and square cavities
Using Monte Carlo simulation, we analyse the behaviour of two-dimensional hard rods in
four different types of geometric confinement:(i) a slit pore where the particles are confined …

Laser-pointer-induced self-focusing effect in hybrid-aligned dye-doped liquid crystals
Nonlinear optics deals with phenomena where “light controls light”; eg, there is mediation by
an intensity-dependent medium through which light propagates. This field has attracted …
