We propose a simple density-functional theory for the isotropic-nematic transition of a
system of hard ellipsoids which yields results in fair agreement with the computer simulation …

We propose a density-functional theory for the isotropic-nematic transition of hard ellipsoids
which is in fair quantitative agreement with the recent computer simulations of this system …

On the basis of a simple functional scaling, we have constructed the direct generalization of
the Carnahan–Starling equation for the free energy of a hard sphere fluid to a nematic liquid …

By Monte Carlo calculations in the canonical ensemble, we have studied some properties of
a twodimensional system of 170 long hard ellipses (whose axis ratio equals 6). This system …

The phase transition from an isotropic to a nematic phase for a classical fluid of hard
ellipsoids has been studied using a version of a theory originally due to Onsager and by …

A second-order density-functional theory is used to study the isotropic-nematic transition in a
system of hard ellipsoids of revolution. The direct pair-correlation functions of the coexisting …

The phase transitions exhibited by systems of hard spherocylinders, with a diameter D and
cylinder length L, are re‐examined with the isothermal–isobaric Monte Carlo (MC‐NPT) …

A simple model for a nematic liquid crystal is presented, in which the short‐range
intermolecular repulsions are represented by repulsions between hard spherocylinders, and …

A fluid of hard rods is considered as a model for nematic liquid crystals. A direct application
of the scaled particle approach results in an inconsistent thermodynamics. A simplified …
