Monte Carlo study of hard spherocylinders. III. The angular correlation functions

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulation method has been used to study angular correlations in the fluid of hard spherocylinders of the length/breadth ratio equal to 1.4,1.6, and 2.0, respectively. The correlation functions have been evaluated both by means of the spherical harmonic expansion and directly (at specific orientations) which enabled us to examine convergence of the former approach. The possibility of the ‘bottleneck effect’ has been investigated as well using two different simulation schemes.
