Phase Transitions and Hysteresis for a Simple Model Liquid Crystal by Replica-Exchange Monte Carlo simulations
In this work, the advantages of applying the temperature and pressure replica-exchange method to investigate the phase transitions and the hysteresis for liquid-crystal fluids were demonstrated. In applying this method to the commonly used Hess–Su liquid-crystal model, heat capacity peaks and points...
