DOI: 10.1016/j.molliq.2018.11.028

Abstract: Abstract It is well-known that orientational order of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) is converted during phase transition from the long-range order (LRO) in the nematic phase to the short-range order (SRO) in the isotropic state.… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Journal of Molecular Liquids"

DOI: 10.1016/j.molliq.2020.113293

Abstract: Abstract By employing a combination of Molecular Dynamics simulations and experimental SAXS studies, we investigate low-concentration suspensions of polydisperse magnetic platelets with dipole moments perpendicular to the platelets' plane. Exploiting the precise control of platelet… read more here.
