Nematics with quenched disorder : violation of self-averaging
J. M. Fish, R. L. C. Vink
We consider the isotropic-to-nematic transition in liquid crystals confined to aerogel hosts, and assume that the aerogel acts as a random field. We generally find that self-averag…

The isotropic-to-nematic transition in confined liquid crystals : an essentially non-universal phenomenon
J. M. Fish, R. L. C. Vink
Computer simulations are presented of the isotropic-to-nematic transition in a liquid crystal confined between two parallel plates a distance H apart. The plates are neutral and do…

Finite-size effects at first-order isotropic-to-nematic transitions
J. M. Fish, R. L. C. Vink
We present simulation data of first-order isotropic-to-nematic transitions in lattice models of liquid crystals and locate the thermodynamic limit inverse transition temperature $ε…
