We report constant-pressure Monte Carlo simulations of a system of hard ellipses with
aspect ratios k= 2, 4, and 6. The results show three different phases: isotropic, nematic, and …

We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations on a system of hard ellipsoids of
revolution with length-to-breadth ratios a/b= 3, 2· 75, 2, 1· 25 and b/a= 3, 2· 75, 2, 1· 25. We …

We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations of the equation of state of hard ellipsoids
of revolution with axial ratio's a/b= 3, 2.75, 2, 1.25, 0.8, 0.5, 0.3636 and 0.3333. We identify …

Abstract We present Monte Carlo simulations on a two-dimensional (2D) fluid of N infinitely
thin hard rods of length L (N≤ 3200). This system has an isotropic phase at low densities …

We report the phase diagram of two-dimensional hard ellipses as obtained from replica
exchange Monte Carlo simulations. The replica exchange is implemented by expanding the …

By Monte Carlo calculations in the canonical ensemble, we have studied some properties of
a twodimensional system of 170 long hard ellipses (whose axis ratio equals 6). This system …

A density-functional theory for the transitions from isotropic to plastic crystal and to nematic
fluid in a fluid of prolate hard ellipsoids is presented. Direct correlations are computed with a …

The phase diagram of a system of hard ellipsoids of revolution was investigated by means of
constant-pressure Monte Carlo simulation. Prolate as well as oblate ellipsoids were …

We report a computer-simulation study of the phase diagram of a system of hard
spherocylinders with aspect ratio L/D between 0 and 5. For L/D≤ 3 only isotropic liquid and …

Despite their fundamental and practical interest, the physical properties of hard ellipses
remain largely unknown. In this paper, we present an event-driven molecular dynamics …
