Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C$_{12}$mim][PF$_6$]) ionic liquid crystal (ILC) with an oscillatory shear. We found the oscillatory shear can both accelerate and suppress the mesophase...

The unique power of NMR spectroscopy in anisotropic media (LX-NMR) as a tool to obtain local and bulk structural information, combined with the effectiveness of molecular dynamics simulations at the atomistic level, shows very attractive potentialities for the study of Ionic Liquid Crystals.

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the ferroelectric liquid crystal 9HL replicate the experimentally observed de Vries behaviour, which is shown to arise due to differing tilting characteristics of molecular sub-units.
