Abstract

A phase field model is developed to simulate the molecular motion and patterning under the combined actions of dipole moments, intermolecular forces, entropy, and external electric field. The study reveals self-alignment, pattern conformation and the possibility to reduce the domain sizes via a layer by layer approach.
