font face="CMR9" size="1"> Using Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis, the critical behavior of attractive rigid rods of length k (k-mers) on square lattices has been studied. An ordered state, with the majority of k-mers being horizontally or vertically aligned, was found. This ordered phase is separated from the disordered state by a continuous transition occurring at a critical density c
