Recent experiments have demonstrated that in a dense monolayer of photo-switchable
dye methyl-red molecules the relaxation of an initial birefringence follows a power-law
decay, typical for glass-like dynamics. The slow ...
We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations of a two-dimensional bent hard-needle
model in both its chiral zig-zag and its achiral bow-shape configurations and present
their phase diagrams. We find evidence for a variety ...
