Abstract
We have studied a system of N = 10(3) discotic particles with a centra l axial dipole using Monte Carlo computer simulations. We have investi gated four temperatures corresponding to isotropic, nematic and column ar liquid-crystal phases determining the molecular and dipolar distrib utions and the length of the polar domains in the columns.
