Abstract

We present detailed Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of a nematic cell with homeotropic boundary conditions at the four confining surfaces. The simulations are based on the Lebwohl-Lasher lattice spin model with boundary conditions chosen to mimic the cell anchoring. We have investigated the model using a standard Metropolis Monte Carlo method to study the optical transmission and the ordering through the cell.
