Computer simulation study of novel chiral liquid crystal phases

We report a computer simulation study of the phase transitional behavior of a system of chiral Gay-Berne molecules embedded with a terminal dipole. In this Rapid Communication, coarse-grained modeling is done to study the influence of coupled chiral and dipolar interactions on the macroscopic liquid...
