Liquid Crystal Observables: Static and Dynamic Properties

  • Chapter
Advances in the Computer Simulatons of Liquid Crystals

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 545))

Abstract

In this Chapter we introduce the description of single and pair particle static properties of liquid crystals, and discuss their calculation from computer simulations. We also briefly describe the calculation of dynamic properties from molecular dynamics simulations using Linear Response theory.
