Journal ArticleDOI
A Molecular Mean Field Theory of Reentrant Phases
TL;DR: In this article, the observed phase transition sequence N-SA-Nre Sre with a lowering in temperature in pure compounds of molecules with a strongly polar end group is reproduced in a mean field model which is taken as an extension of the McMillan potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of end chains in the reentrant behavior of a nonpolar system.
TL;DR: These theories essentially show that the high-temperature smectic phase is an induced phase and the reentrant nematic phase is brought about by a competition between two incommensurate lengths.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Molecular Mean Field Model for a Rectangular to Hexagonal Phase Transitionin Discotic Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: In this article, a mean field model for a rectangular columnar to hexagonal columnar phase transition, assuming that the molecules are biaxial in both the phases, is presented, taking the molecular cores to be tilted in a particular direction with respect to the column axis by the same angle at each lattice site.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Even Odd Effect in Smectic-Nematic Transitions
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of an earlier work by the present authors on the evenodd effect in smectic A-nematic (S-N) transition is presented, where the mean field is modified by including the contribution from the orientation independent term of the Kobayashi pair potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase diagram for discotic liquid crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the variational method of Lee et al. was extended to the discotic phase diagram of rod-like molecules, and the N-I transition temperature (T N-1) varies inversely as the square of the molecular diameter.
