A Novel Chiral Phase of Achiral Hard Triangles and an Entropy-Driven Demixing of Enantiomers

Anjan P. Gantapara, Weikai Qi, Marjolein Dijkstra

We investigate the phase behavior of a system of hard equilateral and right-angled triangles in two dimensions using Monte Carlo simulations. Hard equilateral triangles undergo a c…
