20.500.12556/RUL-113434 Influence of boundary conditions on the order and defects of biaxial nematic droplets We employ Monte Carlo simulations to study the defects occurring in a nematic droplet formed by biaxial molecules. The simulations are carried out using a lattice model based on a dispersive orientational biaxial potential previously employed to establish the rich phase diagram of the system. The focus of the present investigation is on the molecular organization inside the droplet when bipolar and toroidal anchoring conditions at the surface are considered. In both cases, we describe how the defect structure arises in the system, and we analyze the behavior of the defect core region in connection with the elastic properties of the phase in a continuum theory perspective. condensed matter physics liquid crystals nematic droplets simulations fizika kondenzirane snovi tekoči kristali nematske kapljice simulacije true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2020-01-06 14:36:25 2020-01-06 14:36:26 2022-08-25 03:56:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 Str. 032702-1-032702-5 iss. 3 Vol. 100 2019 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 538.9 2470-0045 10.1103/PhysRevE.100.032702 3390308 2048366611 RAZ_Chiccoli_Cesare_2019.pdf RAZ_Chiccoli_Cesare_2019.pdf 1 36C9F99AEDF9A12F655A63BCC52968A6 780cd4e3c761bb6f49a06a00c91dc63aaff0fb7a35568140870122fd9926ce04 1b1f161c-a1b8-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=125522 Fakulteta za matematiko in fiziko 0 0 0
