Improved ansatz for the direct correlation function in dilute nematic colloids

We present an improved analytical ansatz for the colloid-nematic direct correlation function. This ansatz is more accurate than our earlier version, and yields numerical results that are very close to the true mean spherical approximation for dilute nematic colloids. Furthermore, the improved ansatz...
