Entropic bottlenecks to nematic ordering in an apolar spin model
B. Kamala Latha, V. S. S. Sastry, S. R. Shenoy
The Lebwohl-Lasher model of uniaxial liquid crystals with (\textit{n} = 3, \textit{d} = 2) was reported earlier to undergo a crossover transition to a novel nematic phase at a temp…
Topological phase transitions in 2-dimensional bent-core liquid crystal models
B. Kamala Latha, Surajit Dhara, V. S. S. Sastry
Spontaneous onset of a low temperature topologically ordered phase in a 2-dimensional (2D) lattice model of uniaxial liquid crystal (LC) was debated extensively pointing to a suspe…

Kamala Latha. B, Sastry V. S. S
Two-dimensional 3-vector (\textit{d}=2, \textit{n}=3) lattice model with inversion site symmetry and fundamental group of its order-parameter space , did…
Two phase transitions in the two-dimensional nematic 3-vector model with no quasi long-range order: Monte Carlo simulation of the density of states
B. Kamala Latha, V. S. S. Sastry
The presence of stable topological defects in a two-dimensional (\textit{d} = 2) liquid crystal model allowing molecular reorientations in three dimensions (\textit{n} = 3) was lar…
Effect of cross-coupling on the phase behavior in a biaxial nematic: Insights from Monte Carlo studies
B. Kamala Latha, K. P. N. Murthy, V. S. S. Sastry
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 in…
