Liquid Crystal Lattice Models I. Bulk Systems

  • Chapter
Advances in the Computer Simulatons of Liquid Crystals

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 545))

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations of spin models for liquid crystal bulk systems are described. A concise description of second rank Lebwohl-Lasher models of various dimensionality and of models containing in addition interactions of first and fourth rank is provided. Biaxial lattice models are also briefly discussed.
