Predicting the anchoring of liquid crystals at a solid surface : 5-cyanobiphenyl on cristobalite and glassy silica surfaces of increasing roughness
We employ atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to predict the alignment and anchoring strength of a typical nematic liquid crystal, 4-n-pentyl-4'-cyano biphenyl (5CB), on different forms of silica. In particular, we study a thin (~20 nm) film of 5CB supported on surfaces of crystalline (cri...
