Molecular dynamics simulation of backflow generation in nematic liquid crystals Alfeus, Sunarso Tomohiro, Tsuji Shigeomi, Chono electric field effects intermolecular mechanics isomerisation molecular dynamics method nematic liquid crystals rotational states The mechanism of backflow generation in nematic liquid crystals under the application of an electric field is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation, and the roles of intermolecular interaction in the generation of bulk velocity are investigated. It is confirmed that the reorientation of molecules by the application of an electromagnetic field induces a transient “S-shaped” bulk velocity profile. The rotation and rearrangement of molecules during the reorientation process generate a local bulk velocity gradient. journal article American Institute of Physics 2008-12 VoR application/pdf Applied Physics Letters 24 93 244106-1 244106-3 AA00543431 0003-6951 https://kutarr.kochi-tech.ac.jp/record/69/files/APL_93_24_244106.pdf http://hdl.handle.net/10173/587 https://kutarr.kochi-tech.ac.jp/records/69 eng 10.1063/1.3050111 http://link.aip.org/link/?apl/93/244106 http://link.aip.org/link/?apl/93/244106 Copyright 2008 American Institute of Physics.
