This article reviews recent progress in the computer simulation of liquid crystals at the
molecular level. It covers the use of simple rigid-body models of the constituent molecules …

Monte Carlo simulations of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in Ising/lattice gas
models are reviewed with an emphasis on the general insight gained on the mechanisms by …

Common nematic oils, such as 5CB, experience planar anchoring at aqueous interfaces.
When these oils are emulsified, this anchoring preference and the resulting topological …

We study the pattern formation of a chiral nematic liquid crystal under a wetting transition. In
the isotropic-liquid crystal transition, a surface-enhanced effect happens and a thin liquid …

When a liquid crystal forming particles are confined to a spatial volume with dimensions
comparable to that of their own size, they face a complex trade-off between their global …

We investigate the properties of freely suspended nematic nanodroplets of increasing size
formed by elongated Gay–Berne mesogens, using extensive molecular dynamics …

We have studied the wetting behaviour of liquid crystal nanodroplets deposited on a planar
surface, modelling the mesogens with Gay-Berne ellipsoids and the support surface with a …

We model the orientational and positional order of tetratically shaped molecules, each
having four-fold structural symmetry, confined on a spherical surface. Our Monte Carlo …

We present computer simulations of the vapour–nematic interface of the Gay–Berne model.
We considered situations which correspond to either prolate or oblate molecules. We …

We study the morphologies of nematic nanodrops in a vapor of a discotic nematogen by
Monte Carlo simulations. The fluid interactions are modeled by a Gay-Berne model with …
