Density profiles were calculated by time-averaging the scaled number density s 3 (z)ρ(z) in slab geometry (over the range [0, L z ], i.e. with the FG region in the middle) and s 3 (r)ρ(r) in spherical geometry (over the range [0, L/2], i.e. from the box center to the nearest box wall). Orientational profiles were calculated in the form of a time and space averages of molecular dipole moments µ I (r r r) projected on a a a.
