Ordering, clustering, and wetting of hard rods in extreme confinement
The effect of out-of-plane orientational and positional fluctuations is examined in the phase behavior of hard spherocylinders confined between two parallel walls. The stability of isotropic, nematic, and solid phases is studied for aspect ratios (κ=1+L/σ, where σ and L are the diameter and length o...
