Abstract

    The ultrathin film of mesogenous molecules 5CB covering a graphene wall 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, diffusion coefficient, translational and angular velocity autocorrelation function, … etc. The comparison with the properties of pure 5CB cluster  (without graphene) is presented and discussed.
