Abstract: | Onsager's method of studying the nematic phase is developed for general molecular interactions. It is shown that the symmetry
of the molecule helps determine the type of transition that occurs in passing from the isotropic phase to the anisotropic
phase.
The possible relation between the nematic phase and spindle structure is briefly discussed. |
