Scaled chiral indices for ferroelectric liquid crystals (2002)
Journal Article
Solymosi, M., Low, R., Grayson, M., Neal, M., Wilson, M., & Earl, D. (2002). Scaled chiral indices for ferroelectric liquid crystals. Ferroelectrics, 277, 483-490

Chirality of optically active liquid crystal molecules has become an important research topic and the subject of a number of theoretical and experimental studies. We present here the results of the application of a newly developed scaling method of a... Read More about Scaled chiral indices for ferroelectric liquid crystals.

Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens (2002)
Journal Article
Cuetos, A., Ilnytskyi, J., & Wilson, M. (2002). Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens. Molecular Physics, 100(24), 3839-3845

Rotational viscosities gamma(1) are calculated for three Gay-Berne models for a wide range of state points in the nematic phase. There was a strong density dependence in the results, with gamma(1) increasing with increasing density. Away from the cle... Read More about Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens.

Sol gel-immobilised terbium complexes for luminescent sensing of dissolved oxygen by analysis of emission decay (2002)
Journal Article
Blair, S., Kataky, R., & Parker, D. (2002). Sol gel-immobilised terbium complexes for luminescent sensing of dissolved oxygen by analysis of emission decay. New Journal of Chemistry, 26(5), 530-535

Cationic terbium complexes bearing an N-methylphenanthridinium chromophore have been incorporated in sol gel thin films and their response characteristics analysed with respect to variations in dissolved oxygen concentration. Analysis of the emission... Read More about Sol gel-immobilised terbium complexes for luminescent sensing of dissolved oxygen by analysis of emission decay.

A domain decomposition molecular dynamics program for the simulation of flexible molecules of spherically-symmetrical and nonspherical sites. II. Extension to NVT and NPT ensembles (2002)
Journal Article
Ilnytskyi, J., & Wilson, M. (2002). A domain decomposition molecular dynamics program for the simulation of flexible molecules of spherically-symmetrical and nonspherical sites. II. Extension to NVT and NPT ensembles. Computer Physics Communications, 148(1), 43-58

We describe the algorithms for NVT and NPT-ensemble simulations developed within the parallel molecular dynamics program GBMOLDD. This program uses the domain decomposition algorithm and is targeted at large-scale simulations of molecular systems (pa...

Film thickness effects on the distribution of high-molecular-weight heterotelechelic polymers (2002)
Journal Article
Hutchings, L., Richards, R., Thompson, R., & Bucknall, D. (2002). Film thickness effects on the distribution of high-molecular-weight heterotelechelic polymers. The European Physical Journal E, 8(2), 121-128

High-molecular-weight heterotelechelic deuteriopolystyrene, NDPSF, possessing an amine functional group at one end of the chain and a fluorocarbon group at the other was tethered to a silicon substrate by its amine functional group. These layers were... Read More about Film thickness effects on the distribution of high-molecular-weight heterotelechelic polymers.
