Numerical study of the phase behavior of rod-like colloidal particles with attractive tips
Suspensions of anisometric particles are known to self-assemble into various liquid crystal (LC) phases, namely, the nematic, smectic (A or B or both), and in some cases, columnar phases, due to the effects of excluded volume. For some applications, LC phases with higher degrees of order are desired...
