Abstract
The effect of rough walls on the phase behaviour of a confined liquid crystal (LC) fluid is studied using constant pressure Monte Carlo simulations. The LC is modelled as a fluid of soft ellipsoidal molecules and the rough walls are represented as a hard wall with a number of molecules randomly embedded in them. It is found that the isotropic-nematic (IN) transition is shifted to higher pressures for rougher walls. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
