Abstract

A Monte Carlo simulation of a nematic Lebwohl-Lasher liquid crystal confined to a cylindrical pore is presented. We have calculated the ordering and the molecular organisation inside the cavity for cylinders of different size when homeotropic radial boundary conditions and different anchoring strengths are employed. We have not observed escaped radial configurations in the organisations obtained.
