In this paper we present results of the Monte Carlo simulation of a 2D nematic liquid crystal model in the presence of an externally applied electric field. The molecular interactions were described by the Lebwohl -Lasher Hamiltonian. The boundary conditions employed in the simulations corresponded

We investigate nematic-isotropic transition in liquid crystal elastomers employing a variant of Wang-Landau sampling. This technique facilitates calculation of the density of states from which other thermodynamic properties can be obtained. We consider a lattice model of a liquid crystal elastomer a
