We address here a special, extreme case of the quadratic pair interaction potential between classical, D2h-symmetric particles (the generalized Straley model) on a three-dimensional simple cubic lattice. The model involves predominant antinematic couplings and it has been studied by Monte Carlo simulation and a molecular field treatment. The obtained results show a second-order transition between the isotropic phase and the low-temperature one, exhibiting uniaxial antinematic order.

Abstract

We address here a special, extreme case of the quadratic pair interaction potential between classical, D2h-symmetric particles (the generalized Straley model) on a three-dimensional simple cubic lattice. The model involves predominant antinematic couplings and it has been studied by Monte Carlo simulation and a molecular field treatment. The obtained results show a second-order transition between the isotropic phase and the low-temperature one, exhibiting uniaxial antinematic order.

The Physics category includes resources of a broad, general nature that contain materials from all areas of physics, The category also includes resources specifically concerned with the following physics sub-fields: mathematical physics, particle and nuclear physics, physics of fluids and plasmas, quantum physics, and theoretical physics.
The Physical Chemistry/Chemical Physics category includes resources on photochemistry, solid state chemistry, kinetics, catalysis, quantum chemistry, surface chemistry, electro-chemistry, chemical thermodynamics, thermo-physics, colloids, fullerenes and zeolites. Resources dealing with (liquid) crystals and crystallography are also included in this category. This category also includes resources on atomic, molecular and chemical physics, which concerns the structure of atoms and molecules, atomic and molecular interactions with radiation, magnetic resonance and relaxation, Mossbauer effect, and atomic and molecular collision processes and interactions.
