About this document
Effects of Nanoparticle Shape on Liquid Crystals by Umesh Yadava is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study employs Monte Carlo simulations to investigate how nanoparticles of various shapes (spherical, elongated, and discotic) affect the properties of liquid crystals, particularly focusing on transition temperature and order parameter. The findings indicate that small amounts of nanoparticles do not significantly alter phase behavior, with disc-like nanoparticles causing the least perturbation. However, the addition of nanoparticles generally leads to a decrease in clearing temperature and orientation
