Effect of cross-coupling on the phase behavior in a biaxial nematic: Insights from Monte Carlo studies
arXiv:1509.04683
Abstract
Phase sequences of the biaxial nematic liquid crystal in the interior of the essential triangle are studied with Wang Landau sampling. The evidence points to the existence of an intermediate unixial phase with low biaxiality in the isotropic to biaxial nematic phase sequence.
