Abstract

We present comprehensive results from Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of ordering dynamics in d = 2 nematic liquid crystals. We compare our MC results with an analytic form obtained for the correlation function of the liquid crystal order parameter. The numerical and analytical results are in excellent agreement. The domain growth law is consistent with L(t) ~ (t/ln t)1/2.
