Investigation of the phase transition at the nematic liquid crystal-wall interface within nonextensivity
(SEP 15)
In this study, the nematic-isotropic phase transition is investigated for a sample in the shape of a slab of thickness d, using nonextensive formalism. The interaction potential is written as the sum of the direct interaction ...
The influence of nonextensivity on orientational ordering in liquid crystal systems with variable molecular shape
(AUG 15)
A generalized model taking into account the photoisomerization influence on the nematic ordering is presented. This generalized theory is used to investigate the effect of the nonextensivity on the concentration dependence ...
Investigation of the phase transition at the nematic liquid crystal-wall interface with P-4-interaction
(SEP 15)
The nematic-isotropic phase transition is investigated for a sample in the shape of a slab of thickness d, using a self-consistent model. The interacting potential is given by a sum of the direct interaction of a given ...
Generalized mean-field theory relating helix tilt in a bilayer to lipid disorder
(NOV 1)
We present a generalized theory relating the helix tilt angle in a bilayer to lipid disorder. In doing so, we consider a theory performed earlier [Biophys. Chem., 86 (2000) 79] and generalize it within a nonextensive ...
Nonextensive mean-field theory for ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal phases
(OCT 10)
Ferroelectric ordering in a nematic liquid crystal system is described using nonextensive thermostatistics. We use a mean-field potential, including effective potentials for both axial and polar interactions. By using a ...
Orientational ordering in the nematic phase of a thermotropic liquid crystal: a nonextensive approach
(JUN 1)
In this study, the dependence of fourth-rank order parameter on second-rank order parameter for para-azoxyanisole is investigated by using Tsallis statistics. Also, orientational distribution function is studied within ...
The effects of the nonextensivity on the dimerization process and nematic ordering
(OCT 1)
The influence of the dimerization process on the nematic ordering is investigated by using a nonextensive thermostatistics, namely Tsallis thermostatistics (TT). A theoretical model taking into account the dimerization ...
Mean-field theory of anisotropic potential of rank L=4 and nonextensive formalism
(FEB 16)
In this study, we employ the potential U-ij = -f (r(ij))P-L(cos theta(ij)) with rank L = 4 to study on the nematic-isotropic phase transition, using generalized mean-field theory. We use a mean-field theory (P-4 model) ...
