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…
