One-, Two-, and Three-Dimensional Hopping Dynamics

Abstract: Hopping dynamics in glass has been known for quite a long time. In contrast, hopping dynamics in smectic-A (SmA) and hexatic smectic-B (HexB) liquid crystals (LC) has been observed only recently. The hopping in SmA phase occurs among the smectic layers (one-dimensionally), while hopping in HexB phase occurs inside the layers (two-dimensionally). The hopping dynamics in SmA and HexB liquid crystal phases is investigated by parallel soft-core spherocylinders, while three-dimensional hopping dynamics in inherent … Show more

“…A symplectic integrator preserves the structure of the canonical Hamiltonian equation of motion. The advantage of this new method is that not only thermodynamic equilibrium phases but also metastable states can be obtained by constant pressure and temperature processes [1,11,12]. In the calculations, H 0 is taken to be the initial value of H a (t = 0).…”
