摘要: Monolayers composed of bent-core liquid crystal molecules have recently been investigated in regard to a possible alignment method for bulk phases. This paper examines the use monolayer align nematic phases, which are also used optical detection substrate orientation many applications. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulation is gain an understanding at level how crystals aligned by monolayer. The preferentially enter monolayer, and take on upper arm layer. These results suggest that phases can be substrate.
