On the critical behavior of two-dimensional liquid crystals
Ana Isabel Fariñas-Sánchez, Robert Botet, Bertrand Berche +1
The Lebwohl-Lasher (LL) model is the traditional model used to describe the nematic-isotropic transition of real liquid crystals. In this paper, we develop a numerical study of the…

Topological phase transitions in liquid crystals -- Transiciones de fase topológicas en cistales l{'ı}quidos
V. Ricardo Paredes, Ana I. Fariñas-Sánchez, Bertrand Berche
By means of Monte Carlo simulations, using finite size scaling and conformal transformations, evidences of a topological phase transition in liquid crystals in two dimensions are r…
