Partial Equilibration Scenario in 3D athermal martensites quenched below first-order transition temperatures

N. Shankaraiah, K. P. N. Murthy, S. R. Shenoy

To test a Partial Equilibration Scenario (PES) of Ritort and colleagues, we do Monte Carlo simulations of discretized-strain spin models, for four 3D martensitic structural transit…

Understanding glass-like Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann equilibration times: microcanonical effective temperatures in quenched 3D martensites

N. Shankaraiah, K. P. N. Murthy, S. R. Shenoy

We do Monte Carlo simulations of four 3D structural transitions, with vector-spin models of their martensitic strain domains under quenches to , to test a generic post-quench Pa…

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…

Non-Boltzmann Ensembles and Monte Carlo Simulation

K P N Murthy

Boltzmann sampling based on Metropolis algorithm has been extensively used for simulating a canonical ensemble. An estimate of a mechanical property, like energy, of an equilibrium…

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…
