Is Internal Order in 2D Nematic Systems Destroyed by Boundary Disorder?
Computer simulations of 2D nematic systems with quenched disorder placed on the oriented boundary have been performed to test the Feldman-Vinokur hypothesis which suggests that the long-range order is destroyed in that case. Our results for various system sizes and different percentages of disorder at the boundary do not necessarily confirm this hypothesis.
