A rigid core-flexible chain model for mesogenic molecules in molecular dynamics simulations of liquid crystals

A model of a mesogenic molecule, built up as a rigid anisotropic Gay–Berne site mimicking the aromatic core, connected to an array of isotropic sites mimicking a flexible chain, is proposed and tested in molecular dynamics calculations. Simulations have been performed on a system composed of 256 mol...
