ABSTRACT
We combined the Gay-Berne potential (with parameters optimized for typical
liquid crystals) and the technique for simul
ation of mixtures. Using the Monte Carlo method, we studied spatial and
orientational correlations and thermodynamic prop
erties for several concentration ratios. Preliminary molecular dynamics
results on time correlation functions will also b
e presented.
