Static and Hydrodynamic Properties of Nematic Liquid Crystals *
The static properties of nematic liquid crystals are summarized. The mean field potential emerging from the static distribution function has been used to the hydrodynamic theory. Rotational viscosity coefficients have been investigated. The Parodi relation has been shown to be completely satisfied. Static and hydrodynamic properties have been predicted on the basis of one intermolecular potential.
متن کاملProton Spin Relaxation of a Liquid Crystal with a Glassy Cholesteric State
Field-cycling and standard pulsed N M R techniques have been used to study the frequency dependence of the longitudinal proton spin relaxation time Tx in the crystalline estradiol compound ( + )3,l,7-/?-bis-(4n-butoxybenzoyloxy)-estra-l,3,5-(10)-trien or BET, which is a mesogenic material with a chiral molecular structure. From the measured Larmor frequency and temperature dependences we conclu...
متن کاملInvestigation into the temperature dependence of isotropic- nematic phase transition of Gay- Berne liquid crystals
Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...
متن کاملEntropy-driven enhanced self-diffusion in confined reentrant supernematics.
We present a molecular dynamics study of reentrant nematic phases using the Gay-Berne-Kihara model of a liquid crystal in nanoconfinement. At densities above those characteristic of smectic A phases, reentrant nematic phases form that are characterized by a large value of the nematic order parameter S≃1. Along the nematic director these "supernematic" phases exhibit a remarkably high self-diffu...
متن کاملReply to the Comment of V. I. Stepanov "On the Osipov-Terentjev Calculation of the Viscosity of Liquid Crystals"
In his comment on [1], V. J. Stepanov has presented a new expression for the flow-induced correction to the one-particle distribution function in nematic liquid crystals. With the help of this solution he obtained a simple expression for the rotational viscosity yx which does not possess the exponential temperature dependence related to the overcoming a potential barrier, contrary to results of...
