Structures, thermodynamics and dynamics of topological defects in Gay–Berne nematic liquid crystals

“…38,39 Viscous coefficients of nematic GB systems were measured using equilibrium MD [40][41][42][43][44][45][46] and nonequilibrium MD simulations. [47][48][49][50][51][52][53] These fundamental studies have revealed microscopic structures and properties of LCs, and have paved the way toward more quantitative study of LC materials using molecular models.…”

Molecular simulation of model liquid crystals in a strong aligning field

“…[25] for a recent review on the subject of computer simulation of GB systems). The perfectly oriented GB model has been previously considered in a simulation study of the viscosity in the vicinity of the SmA-N transition [26]. This model has also been considered to test a perturbation theory for nematics [27].…”
