Resumen:
Assuming the aggregates of a single chiral component as a pure phase, chiral segregation can be considered as a coexistence of two phases, therefore the formalisms of phase transitions in Statistical Mechanics can be applied. That is, chiral segregation can be considered as phase equilibrium. The standard mechanism to understand phase equilibrium considers the complete van der Waals forces, including repulsions and attractions. However, during the last few years, a particular kind of fluid-fluid equilibrium, explained in terms of only excluded volume effects, has gained important interest. This kind of phenomenon is known as depletion forces. In this paper, the contribution of these two mechanisms is investigated. In order to analyze the effect that repulsions and attractions have on chiral segregation we study a two-dimensional model, bent hard needles model. In one case only infinitely repulsive interactions are considered while in the second case, one and two Lennard-Jones (U) sites
