The dynamics of 4-cyano-4-n-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) mesogen molecules located between graphene layers—MD study

The ultrathin film of mesogenic molecules 5CB confined between graphene walls has been investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) technique. The dynamical observables of 4-cyano-4-n-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) were calculated for several temperatures: the mean square displacement, translational and angular velocity autocorrelation function, and second-rank order parameter.
