We study the phase transition from a nematic phase to a high-density disordered phase in
systems of long rigid rods of length k on the square and triangular lattices. We use an …

Numerical simulations by means of Monte Carlo method and finite-size scaling analysis
have been performed to study the percolation behavior of linear k-mers (also denoted in …

Statistical thermodynamics of particles having a spectrum of topological correlated states
and observing statistical exclusion is developed to describe mixtures of species of arbitrary …

Polymers are frequently deposited on different surfaces, which has attracted the attention of
scientists from different viewpoints. In the present approach polymers are represented by …

A statistical thermodynamics description of particles having a set of spatially correlated
states with statistical exclusion is developed. A general approximation for the density of …

The phase diagram of a system of monodispersed hard rectangles of size m× mk on a
square lattice is numerically determined for m= 2, 3 and aspect ratio k= 1, 2,..., 7. We show …

We study the k-NN hard-core lattice gas model in which the first k next-nearest-neighbor
sites of a particle are excluded from occupation by other particles on a two-dimensional …

Hard-core lattice-gas models are minimal models to study entropy-driven phase transitions.
In the k-nearest-neighbor lattice gas, a particle excludes all sites up to the k th next-nearest …

We determine the asymptotic behavior of the entropy of full coverings of a L× M square
lattice by rods of size k× 1 and 1× k, in the limit of large k. We show that full coverage is …

We show that critical exponents of the transition to columnar order in a mixture of 2× 1
dimers and 2× 2 hard squares on the square lattice depends on the composition of the …
