Atomistic simulation of biaxial liquid crystals and mixtures of liquid crystals
In this thesis molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at a fully-atomistic level have been undertaken to study the biaxiality and the structure of the liquid crystalline phase formed by the para-heptylbenxoate diester of 2.5-bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (ODBP-Ph-C(_7)), which is a bent-core m...
