Incorporating particle flexibility in a density functional description of nematics and cholesterics
We describe a general implementation of the Fynewever–Yethiraj density functional theory (DFT) for the investigation of nematic and cholesteric self-assembly in arbitrary solutions of semi-flexible polymers. The basic assumptions of the theory are discussed in the context of other generalised Onsage...
