Liquid crystal films confined between patterned substrates

In this thesis, systems of nematic liquid crystals confined between patterned substrates have been studied using molecular computer simulation. The aim of this work, done in parallel with experimentalists in Leeds, has been to investigate the use of chemical patterning as a novel method for controll...
