Entropy-driven phase transition in a polydisperse hard-rods lattice system

It yields two different asymptotic behaviors for the large local densities and maximal value of the bifurcating autoregressive process.. Keywords: Branching process,

We shall say that two power series f, g with integral coefficients are congruent modulo M (where M is any positive integer) if their coefficients of the same power of z are

For higher temperatures the field range of the ordered phase would diminish and no order should be observed above a temperature of 3 K.. The predicted behaviour of the

8–10 At certain aspect ratios, random packing of ellipsoids can even reach densities almost as high as the closest crystalline packing of spheres.. 8 However, this does not imply

2014 The influence of permanent dipoles on the nematic isotropic transition is studied by adding a simple polar interaction to the Maier-Saupe model of nematic

of mixed rods and disks, and in the context of an entropy model for hard cylinders, the data indicate the relative fraction of rods and disks as the KL

2014 We present an ultrasonic investigation of the nematic-isotropic phase transition in p-azoxyanisole (PAA). Our measurements were performed at several frequencies

2014 A model based on second rank tensor orientational properties of smectic phases is developed.. The model predicts a second order smectic A-smectic C phase transition
