Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'There are two main approaches to the theoretical study of liquid crystals: continuum and molecular. The first, well covered in various good books (e.g. those by Chandrasekhar [1992]; de Gennes and Prost [1993]; Virga [1994]; Kleman and Lavrentovich [2003]; Stewart [2004]; Oswald and Pieranski [2005, 2006]; Barbero and Evangelista [2006]) considers anisotropic systems at macroscopic level and typically deals with optical and elastic properties as well as with many practical electrooptical applications of liquid crystals. At continuum level, liquid crystals are assumed to exist and their properties (e.g. elastic constants and viscosities) to be known, insofar as they are needed to parameterize the relevant equations. Molecules, phase transitions and spectroscopic properties are not normally taken into consideration. In this line of work computer simulations typically refer to a determination of the preferred orientation (director) or of the ordering tensor field that minimize the elastic free energy under a variety of boundary conditions, while dynamics is normally related to the solution of hydrodynamics equations for anisotropic fluids. The other main line of investigation deals'--.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Topological defects are the subject of intensive studies in many different branches of physics ranging from cosmology to liquid crystals and from elementary particles to colloids and biological systems. Liquid crystals are fascinating materials which present a great variety of these mathematical objects and can therefore be considered as an extremely useful laboratory for topological defects.This book is the first attempt to present together complementary approaches to the investigations of topological defects in liquid crystals using theory, experiments and computer simulations.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 364 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Liquid crystals, polymers and polymer liquid crystals are soft condensed matter systems of major technological and scientific interest. An understanding of the macroscopic properties of these complex systems and of their many and interesting peculiarities at the molecular level can nowadays only be attained using computer simulations and statistical mechanical theories. Both in the Liquid Crystal and Polymer fields a considerable amount of simulation work has been done in the last few years with various classes of models at different special resolutions, ranging from atomistic to molecular and coarse-grained lattice models. Each of the two fields has developed its own set of tools and specialized procedures and the book aims to provide a state of the art review of the computer simulation studies of polymers and liquid crystals. This is of great importance in view of a potential cross-fertilization between these connected areas which is particularly apparent for a number of experimental systems like, e.g. polymer liquid crystals and anisotropic gels where the different fields necessarily merge. An effort has been made to assess the possibilities of a coherent description of the themes that have developed independently, and to compare and extend the theoretical and computational techniques put forward in the different areas.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 384 pp. Englisch.
