Title: | Orientational orders of small anisotropic molecules confined in slit pores | Authors: | Zhou, X. Chen, H. Iwamoto, M. |
Issue Date: | 15-Mar-2004 | Citation: | Zhou, X., Chen, H., Iwamoto, M. (2004-03-15). Orientational orders of small anisotropic molecules confined in slit pores. Journal of Chemical Physics 120 (11) : 5322-5326. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1647517 | Abstract: | The orientationally ordered transitions of small anisotropic molecules confined in two parallel hard walls were studied using a constant pressure Monte Carlo molecular simulations. Based on free energy calculations of isotropic and nematic phases, the IN transition pressure was found to be about 5 for k=3.0. The results indicate that the confining surfaces can shift and drive isotropic-anisotropic phase transitions in small anisotropic molecules. It implies that small molecules can form liquid crystals due to the inducement of confirming surfaces. | Source Title: | Journal of Chemical Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/65954 | ISSN: | 00219606 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.1647517 |
