ABSTRACT
We present the results from comprehensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of ordering kinetics in d = 2 liquid crystals (LCs). Our LC system is described by the two-component Lebwohl-Lasher model with long-ranged interactions, V(r) â¼ r(-n). We find that systems with n ≥ 2 show the same dynamical behavior as the nearest-neighbor case (n = ∞). This contradicts available theoretical predictions.
