二维受限取向的“液晶“:各向同性相变还是液-气(?)

Restricted orientation "liquid crystal" in two dimensions: Isotropic-nematic transition or liquid-gas (?)

T. Fischer, R. L. C. Vink

摘要:

我们提出的蒙特卡罗模拟结果的二维Zwanzig流体,其中包括硬线段,可以定向为水平或垂直。在一定的临界逸度,我们观察到一个相变与二维伊辛临界点。在过渡点以上,系统处于有序状态,大多数粒子水平或垂直排列。与以前的工作相比,我们确定的过渡是液体-气体类型,而不是各向同性的,以?这种解释自然解释了观察到的伊辛临界行为。此外,当Zwanzig流体被扩展到更允许的粒子取向时,我们认为在某些情况下,q>2的q态Potts模型的对称性出现。这一观察结果被用来解释以前的一些结果。

英文摘要:

We present Monte Carlo simulation results of the two-dimensional Zwanzig fluid, which consists of hard line segments which may orient either horizontally or vertically. At a certain critical fugacity, we observe a phase transition with a two-dimensional Ising critical point. Above the transition point, the system is in an ordered state, with the majority of particles being either horizontally or vertically aligned. In contrast to previous work, we identify the transition as being of the liquid-gas type, as opposed to isotropic-to-nematic. This interpretation naturally accounts for the observed Ising critical behavior. Furthermore, when the Zwanzig fluid is extended to more allowed particle orientations, we argue that in some cases the symmetry of a q-state Potts model with q>2 arises. This observation is used to interpret a number of previous results.
