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 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 …

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 consider a simple Maier-Saupe statistical model with the inclusion of disorder degrees of
freedom to mimic the phase diagram of a mixture of rodlike and disklike molecules. A …

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 phase diagram of a discrete version of the Maier-Saupe model with the
inclusion of additional degrees of freedom to mimic a distribution of rodlike and disklike …

Monte Carlo simulations in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble are used to investigate the
formation of an ordered, biaxial nematic phase in a binary mixture of thermotropic liquid …

We report detailed statistical mechanics calculations to analyse the field-temperature phase
diagram of a fully connected Maier–Saupe–Zwanzig (MSZ) lattice model for the nematic …

The lattice version of the Maier-Saupe model of a nematic liquid crystal, in which all
molecules are restricted to be on a simple-cubic lattice with periodic boundary conditions …

We have reconsidered a simple Maier-Saupe model of a nematic liquid crystal introduced by
one of us a few years ago. A systematic exploration of the phase diagram using density …
