Abstract: | In this work we present a computer simulation study of charged hard spherocylinders of aspect ratio L/sigma=5, using NVT and NPT Monte Carlo methods. Coulombic interactions are handled using the Wolf method D. Wolf, P. Keblinski, S. R. Phillpot, and J. Eggebrecht, J. Chem. Phys. 110, 8254 (1999)]. Thermodynamic and structural properties are in excellent agreement with the results obtained with the standard Ewald summation method. A partial prediction of the corresponding phase diagram is obtained by studying two isotherms of this system. The stability of the liquid crystalline phases is examined and compared with the phase diagrams of neutral hard spherocylinders and dipolar hard spherocylinders. |
