Confinement induced ordering in fluid of hard ellipsoids

H Miao, H Ma - Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
The ordering configurations of a fluid of anisotropic ellipsoids under the confinement of two
apposing impenetrable walls are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The excess …

Effective-liquid approach to the generalized Onsager theories of the isotropic-nematic transition of hard convex bodies

JA Cuesta, CF Tejero, H Xu, M Baus - Physical Review A, 1991 - APS
Recent attempts to generalize the classical Onsager theory of nematic ordering to finite-
