BIAXIAL DISCOTIC GAY-BERNE
MESOGENS AND BIAXIAL NEMATICS

We investigate the thermotropic liquid crystal phases formed in a system of
biaxial discotic mesogenic Gay-Berne particles with strong in-plane interactions
when the attractive and repulsive biaxialities have the same or the opposite sign.
We find that a biaxial nematic phase is obtained when the shape and well depth
anisotropies have the same sign while we do not observe a columnar phase.

INTRODUCTION
The discovery of discotic mesogens by Chandrasekhar and collaborators
[1] has opened a wide field of research, dramatically showing the
importance of molecular shape in determining the type of the phases
obtained [1,2]. By now nematics and a variety of columnar phases
formed by discotic molecules have been found and studied
experimentally [3]. On the computational side discotic mesogens can be
modelled, e.g., with oblate attractive – repulsive Gay-Berne (GB)
ellipsoids [4,5] with thickness σ f and diameter σe and nematic and
now published as:

columnar phases have been simulated, although not as many studies as
for calamitic systems are available as yet [6]. It has been shown [7] that
a GB model with shape anisotropy σf /σe = 0.345, face-face to side-side
well depth ratio εf /εe =5 and GB parameters (see [4]) μ= 1, ν=2 gives an
isotropic, nematic and columnar phase with rectangular structure. The
simulations of a GB system with the same aspect ratio and attraction
anisotropy, but with a parameterisation μ=1, ν=3 has the effect of
lowering the well depths of the face-to-face
