How Can I Find Resources on Lebwohl-Lasher Lattice Modeling for Liquid Crystals?

[skrat]

Hi there,
I am writing a short presentation of molecular simulation, and as part of it, I would like to learn more about lattice modelling. I'am working on modelling a liquid crystal using lattice version of the Maier-Saupe model of nematic (Lebwohl-Lasher).

My question here is: I am having really big problems to find some appropriate literature about this (university level). Does anybody have a good link or can maybe suggest me any literature?

I would be really happy and it would make my life a lot easier. Thank you!

There are many resources available online that can help you learn more about lattice modeling, including tutorials, books, and research papers. Here are a few suggestions:1. Tutorials:- “Molecular Simulations with Lattice Models” by S. J. Plimpton (https://lammps.sandia.gov/tutorials/tutorial_pubs/lattice_models.pdf)- “Molecular Dynamics Simulation with Lattice Models” by M. P. Allen and D. J. Tildesley (https://www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/v...722856.001.0001/oso-9780198722856-chapter-3)2. Books:- “Understanding Molecular Simulation: From Algorithms to Applications” by D. Frenkel and B. Smit (https://www.elsevier.com/books/understanding-molecular-simulation/frenkel/978-0-12-352651-9)- “Computer Simulation of Liquids” by M. P. Allen and D. J. Tildesley (https://global.oup.com/academic/pro...ion-of-liquids-9780198552289?cc=us&lang=en&)3. Research Papers:- “Maier Saupe Model for a Liquid Crystal” by H. Klein and T. Palberg (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00674620)- “Lebwohl-Lasher Model for Nematic Liquid Crystals” by S. Singh and A. Chakraborty (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02817542)I hope this helps!
