Biaxial nematics : computer simulation studies of a generic rod-disc dimer model

One possible route to the elusive biaxial nematic phase is through rod-disc dimers in which the rod and disc mesogenic units are linked via a flexible spacer. We have developed a continuous generic model of such rod-disc dimers in which neighbouring like groups tend to align parallel to each other w...
