摘要: We report a computer-simulation study of the phase diagram system hard spherocylinders with aspect ratio L/D between 0 and 5. For L/D≤3 only isotropic liquid crystalline solid phases can occur. L/D=3 mechanically stable smectic occurs, but it is thermodynamically unstable. larger values, nematic are present.
