Computer Simulation Studies Of Phase Transition In Soft-Condensed Matter : Isotropic-Nematic, Gas-Liquid, And Polymer Collapse

The present thesis reports computer simulation studies of several phase transition related phenomena in a range of soft-condensed matter systems. A coherent unifying theme of the thesis is the understanding of dynamics of phase transitions through free energy calculations using recently developed ef...
