We construct a nonlocal theory of elasticity for a nematic polymer composed of rigid or
semiflexible molecules. We then introduce a mean-field theory for the calculation of wave …

Exact direct and usual pair correlations for a fluid of anisotropic hard cores with orientational
as well as one-dimensional translational degrees of freedom are obtained. These results …

The Percus–Yevick (PY) and the hypernetted chain (HNC) integral equations have been
solved for fluids of hard ellipsoids of a revolution represented by a hard Gaussian overlap …

A density functional theory is formulated to study the nematic, smectic A and solid phases
and phase transitions of a system of parallel hard spherocylinders (PHSC). For the direct …

The perturbation theory with non-spherical reference system is used for molecular fluid with
angle-dependent square-well type potential. Simple analytic expressions are given for the …

We use a high level virial expansion to investigate the properties of the isotropic and
nematic phases of the hard spheroid fluid. We use the Monte Carlo techniques described …

The computationally tractable discrete lattice model is compared to a more realistic
representation of rodlike particles, which allows continuous variation of rod position and …

A statistical mechanical perturbation theory has been used to describe discotic nematic-
isotropic phase transition for a discotic liquid crystal, hexa (p-octyl phenyl ethynyl) benzene …

We numerically study the thermodynamic properties of a hard ellipsoid fluid by mainly
focusing on its phase transition from an isotropic phase into a nematic phase (ie isotropic …
