Abstract:
A model is presented in which the bonds of a honeycomb lattice are covered by rod-like molecules of type AA and BB, molecular ends near a common site having both three-body interactions and orientation-dependent bonding between two A molecular ends and between an A and a B molecular end. Phase diagrams corresponding to the separation into AA-rich and BB-rich phases are calculated exactly. Depending on the relative strengths of the interactions, one of several qualitatively different types of phase diagrams can result, including diagrams containing phenomena such as a double critical point or two separate asymmetric closed loops. By imagining the AA and BB molecules to shrink to a point, the model can be seen to be equivalent to a two-component system of interacting $ A $ and $ B $ molecules on the resulting Kagome lattice.
