Onsager theory of nematic liquid crystals doped with ferroelectric nanoparticles
M. R. Hakobyan Yerevan State University
Abstract:
The Onsager virial theory for the isotropic–nematic phase transition of thin rod-like nematic molecules doped with ferroelectric nanoparticles is treated comprehensively. An expression for free energy of the system as a whole is received. By applying the Lagrange multiplier method for variation of free energy expression the orientational distribution function of nematics in the presence of nanoparticles is obtained
Keywords:
ferroelectric nanoparticles, free energy, Onsager theory, orientational distribution function.
