Investigation into the temperature dependence of isotropic- nematic phase transition of Gay- Berne liquid crystals
Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...
متن کاملIsotropic-nematic phase transition in amyloid fibrilization.
We carry out a theoretical study on the isotropic-nematic phase transition and phase separation in amyloid fibril solutions. Borrowing the thermodynamic model employed in the study of cylindrical micelles, we investigate the variations in the fibril length distribution and phase behavior with respect to changes in the protein concentration, fibril's rigidity, and binding energy. We then relate ...
متن کاملNematic Order near a Tricritical Nematic - Smectic a Phase Transition
The nematic to smectic A (NA) phase transition in liquid crystals has been a subject of extensive study in recent years. The original theories due to McMillan [ I] and de Gennes [ 21 suggested that this transition could be first or second order. De Gennes, using a Landau expansion of the smectic free energy, emphasized the coupling between the smectic or density order parameter, v and the nemat...
متن کاملThe flow-phase diagram of Doi-Hess theory for sheared nematic polymers II: finite shear rates
The purpose of this paper is to extend the rheological predictions of the Doi-Hess kinetic theory for sheared nematic polymers from the anomalous weak shear regime (Forest et al., 2003) to arbitrary shear rates, and to associate salient rheological and optical properties with the solution space of kinetic theory. Using numerical bifurcation software (AUTO), we provide the phase diagram of all s...
متن کاملThe weak shear kinetic phase diagram for nematic polymers
Received: 11 March 2003 Accepted: 21 May 2003 Published online: 5 September 2003 Springer-Verlag 2003 Abstract We study the shear problem for nematic polymers as modeled by the molecular kinetic theory of Doi (1981), focusing on the anomalous slow flow regime. We provide the kinetic phase diagram of monodomain (MD) attractors and phase transitions vs normalized nematic concentration (N) and wea...
