Measuring liquid crystal elastic constants with free energy perturbations - Soft Matter (RSC Publishing)
A first principles method is proposed to calculate the Frank elastic constants of nematic liquid crystals. These include the constants corresponding to standard splay, twist and bend deformations, and an often-ignored surface-like contribution known as saddle-splay. The proposed approach is implemented on th
