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…
Complex free energy landscapes in biaxial nematics and role of repulsive interactions : A Wang - Landau study
B. Kamala Latha, K. P. N. Murthy, V. S. S. Sastry
General quadratic Hamiltonian models, describing interaction between crystal molecules (typically with symmetry) take into account couplings between their uniaxial and bia…
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…
Reexamination of the mean-field phase diagram of biaxial nematic liquid crystals: Insights from Monte Carlo studies
B. Kamala Latha, Regina Jose, K. P. N. Murthy +1
Investigations of the phase diagram of biaxial liquid crystal systems through analyses of general Hamiltonian models within the simplifications of mean-field theory (MFT), as well…
Phase Transition in a Bond Fluctuating Lattice Polymer
Hima Bindu Kolli, K. P. N. Murthy
This report deals with phase transition in Bond Fluctuation Model (BFM) of a linear homo polymer on a two dimensional square lattice. Each monomer occupies a unit cell of four latt…
Liquid crystal films on curved surfaces: An entropic sampling study
D. Jayasri, T. Sairam, V. S. S. Sastry +1
The confining effect of a spherical substrate inducing anchoring (normal to the surface) of rod-like liquid crystal molecules contained in a thin film spread over it has been inves…
