Abstract
The Maier-Saupe theory1 of the order-disorder transition in nematogens has been extended to allow for a rigorously correct form of the anisotropic intermolecular potential.2 The potential energy of one rod-like molecule in the field generated via the interaction with its neighbours is found to beKeywords
