AI总结:

本文用 Monte Carlo 模拟研究 $D_{2h}$ 双轴分子在 Straley 四极势下的晶格相图,证实单轴与双轴向列相及三临界点,并指出三相点位置显著偏离平均场预测。

摘要:

本文利用 Monte Carlo 模拟确定了一个晶格体系的相图;该体系由具有 $D_{2h}$ 对称性的双轴分子构成,并采用 Sonnet–Virga–Durand 参数化形式的 Straley 四极成对势进行相互作用[A. M. Sonnet、E. G. Virga 和 G. E. Durand,Phys. Rev. E 67, 061701 (2003)]。我们的结果证实,该向列生成模型既产生单轴向列宏观相,也产生双轴向列宏观相,并且在单轴向列相向双轴向列相的转变中存在一个三临界点,这与平均场理论的预测一致。通过分析由能量概率分布导出的类自由能函数的行为,可以判定相变的级次。文中报告了支持相图中单轴—双轴转变线上存在三临界点的确凿数值证据。尽管相图的性质与平均场研究所得在定性上相同,但三相点的位置与理论预测存在显著差异。

英文摘要:

The phase diagram for a lattice system of biaxial molecules possessing $D_{2h}$ symmetry and interacting with Straley's quadrupolar pair potential in Sonnet-Virga-Durand parameterization [A. M. Sonnet, E. G. Virga, and G. E. Durand, Phys. Rev. E {\bf67}, 061701 (2003)] has been determined using Monte Carlo simulation. Our results confirm that the nematogenic model yields both the uniaxial and biaxial nematic macroscopic phases along with a tricritical point in the transition from uniaxial to biaxial nematics as predicted in mean field theory. By analyzing the behavior of a free-energy-like function, derived from the probability distributions of energy, the order of phase transitions is detected. A conclusive numerical evidence in support of the existence of a tricritical point on the uniaxial-biaxial transition line in the phase diagram is reported. Although the nature of the phase diagram is qualitatively identical as obtained in the mean-field study however the location of the triple point differs significantly from theoretical prediction.
