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…

A Note on Non-equilibrium Work Fluctuations and Equilibrium Free Energies

M Suman Kalyan, G Anjan Prasad, V S S Sastry +1

We consider in this paper, a few important issues in non-equilibrium work fluctuations and their relations to equilibrium free energies. First we show that Jarzynski identity can b…
