  • Summary

    This chapter presents a full microscopic description of ordering in anisotropic fluids. A systematic introduction to the order parameters for uniaxial and biaxial nematics and smectics is provided, with attention to their physical significance as well as their determination from experiments (e.g. Linear Dichroism, Fluorescence Depolarization, NMR), with explicit examples, and from computer simulations.

  • Standing as the first unified textbook on the subject, Liquid Crystals and Their Computer Simulations provides a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of liquid crystals and of their Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics computer simulations. Liquid crystals have a complex physical nature, and, therefore, computer simulations are a key element of research in this field. This modern text develops a uniform formalism for addressing various spectroscopic techniques and other experimental methods for studying phase transitions of liquid crystals, and emphasises the links between their molecular organisation and observable static and dynamic properties. Aided by the inclusion of a set of Appendices containing detailed mathematical background and derivations, this book is accessible to a broad and multidisciplinary audience. Primarily intended for graduate students and academic researchers, it is also an invaluable reference for industrial researchers working on the development of liquid crystal display technology.
