Abstract

Smectic phases formed by rod-like molecules with long axes that are parallel and also arranged in planes. The smectic-isotropic phase transition is a phase change from the liquid crystal to the liquid phase. In this work, we use a mobile 6-state Potts model to study the nature of the smectic-isotropic phase transition...
