Interaction of molecular tori in columnar structures

J Phys Condens Matter. 2022 Jan 6;34(12). doi: 10.1088/1361-648X/ac45b9.

Abstract

The potential of tori interactions, simple in form, is obtained, which underlies the mechanisms of the formation of molecular associations in liquid crystals. In the considered linear aggregates, the short-range interactions of the tori are calculated. The dynamic state of a hexagonal tori cord is also considered.

Keywords: liquid crystal; mathematical modeling; molecular dynamics; nanomaterials; nanotori.
