Monte Carlo study of trans- and cis-azobenzene bulk phases with coarse-grained two-site Gay-Berne model
Abstract. Azobenzene is a broadly studied molecule that forms liquid crystal phases under certain circumstances. It has two distinctive geometries, a flat trans and a bent cis isomer. Through a reversible photoisomerisation process, the molecule can be forced to transform from one isomer to another....
