Abstract: The isotropic and nematic (I + N) coexistence for rod-like colloids is a signature of the first-order thermodynamics nature of this phase transition. However, in the case of amyloid fibrils, the biphasic region is too small to… read more here.

Abstract: Using grand-canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations, we investigate the isotropic-nematic phase transition for hard rods of size L×1×1 on a three-dimensional cubic lattice. We observe such a transition for L≥6. For L=6, the nematic state… read more here.

Abstract: Using overdamped Brownian dynamics simulations we investigate the isotropic-nematic (IN) transition of self-propelled rods in three spatial dimensions. For two well-known model systems (Gay-Berne potential and hard spherocylinders) we find that turning on activity moves… read more here.

DOI: 10.4208/cicp.oa-2017-0100
Abstract: We consider a system of liquid crystal modeled by hard spherocylinders. In certain range of the pressure, the system exhibits two metastable phases: the isotropic phase and the nematic phase. In the isotropic phase, the… read more here.
