Finite size scaling in the planar Lebwohl–Lasher model

The standard finite size scaling method for second order phase transition has been applied to Monte Carlo data obtained for a planar Lebwohl–Lasher lattice model using the Wolff cluster algorithm. We obtain T c and the exponents γ, ν, and z and the results are different from those obtained by other...

Description
Summary:The standard finite size scaling method for second order phase transition has been applied to Monte Carlo data obtained for a planar Lebwohl–Lasher lattice model using the Wolff cluster algorithm. We obtain T c and the exponents γ, ν, and z and the results are different from those obtained by other investigators.
