Effect of dipolar interaction in molecular crystals
@article{Hoang2011EffectOD, title={Effect of dipolar interaction in molecular crystals}, author={Danh-Tai Hoang and Hung T. Diep}, journal={Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter}, year={2011}, volume={24} }
In this paper we investigate the ground state and the nature of the transition from an orientational ordered phase at low temperature to the disordered state at high temperature in a molecular crystal. Our model is a Potts model which takes into account the exchange interaction J between nearest-neighbor molecules and a dipolar interaction between molecular axes in three dimensions. The dipolar interaction is characterized by two parameters: its amplitude D and the cutoff distance rc. If the…
