  • Title: Phase behavior of a hard sphere Maier-Saupe nematogenic system in three dimensions.
    Author: Lomba E, Martín C, Almarza NG, Lado F.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2006 Aug; 74(2 Pt 1):021503. PubMed ID: 17025433.
    Abstract:
    We present a detailed computer simulation and integral equation study of the phase behavior of a nematogenic system composed of hard spheres with embedded three-dimensional Maier-Saupe spins. For this well-known system, we map the gas-liquid equilibrium, which is coupled to a first-order isotropic-nematic transition. The anisotropic integral equation theory is found to yield excellent agreement with the simulation data within the fluid regime. Additionally, we determine the fluid-solid equilibrium transition by means of computer simulation.
