The criticality of self-assembled rigid rods on triangular lattices
arXiv:1012.3848 · doi:10.1063/1.3556665
Abstract
The criticality of self-assembled rigid rods on triangular lattices is investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. We find a continuous transition between an ordered phase, where the rods are oriented along one of the three (equivalent) lattice directions, and a disordered one. We conclude that equilibrium polydispersity of the rod lengths does not affect the critical behavior, as we found that the criticality is the same as that of monodisperse rods on the same lattice, in contrast with the results of recently published work on similar models.
