We introduce shape variations in a liquid-crystalline system by considering an elementary
Maier-Saupe lattice model for a mixture of uniaxial and biaxial molecules. Shape variables …

We analyze a mean-field model for mixtures involving biaxial nematogens and dipolar
nanoparticles, taking into account not only orientational and isotropic pair interactions …

We employ a lattice-gas extension of the Maier-Saupe model with discrete orientation states
to study the phase behavior of a statistical model for biaxial nematogenic units in mean-field …

We investigate the connections between some simple Maier-Saupe lattice models, with a
discrete choice of orientations of the microscopic directors, and a recent proposal of a two …

The Maier-Saupe-Zwanzig model for the nematic phase transitions in liquid crystals is
investigated in a diamond hierarchical lattice. The model takes into account a parameter to …

We analyze the global phase diagram of a Maier-Saupe lattice model with the inclusion of
shape-disordered degrees of freedom to mimic a mixture of oblate and prolate molecules …

We employ different extensions of the mean-field Maier-Saupe model with discrete
orientational states to study the phase behavior of statistical models for nematogenic …

ABSTRACT The Maier-Saupe theory of the nematic phase transitions, with the requirement
that the molecular directors are restricted to the Cartesian axes, can be formulated as a fully …

We use a simple statistical model to investigate the effects of an applied magnetic field and
of the dilution of site elements on the phase diagrams of biaxial nematic systems, with an …

We analyze the thermodynamic behavior of a discrete version of the Maier–Saupe model for
the nematic phase transitions in liquid crystals in the Apollonian network. This simple model …
