Structure of Chiral Isotropic Phases

We present computer simulation studies of the model chiral liquid crystal as introduced by Memmer [ 1 2 ]. The analysis of resulting structures is based on the two-point correlation modes [ 3 ] and on calculations of the excess specific heat. Our aim is to characterize the isotropic phases and to se...

Description
Summary:We present computer simulation studies of the model chiral liquid crystal as introduced by Memmer [ 1 2 ]. The analysis of resulting structures is based on the two-point correlation modes [ 3 ] and on calculations of the excess specific heat. Our aim is to characterize the isotropic phases and to search for a critical point between the isotropic liquid and BPIII.
