Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropic steric effects and negative 〈 P 4 〉 in nematic liquid crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out a statistical mechanical calculation in the cell approximation and applied it specifically to the isotropic-nematic transition of methoxybenzylidene butylaniline.
Book ChapterDOI
Spatial Correlations in Nematic Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial correlations between molecules are accounted for in the "orientationally averaged pair correlations" approximation (OAPC) to affect the macroscopic properties of nematic liquid crystals and a cell model calculation in which both the molecular orientational distribution and the spatial distribution about lattice sites are determined self-consistently, by solving coupled Euler-Lagrange equations which minimize the free energy.
