Orientational ordering of small molecules in nematic liquid crystals

Orientational ordering in nematic liquid crystal phases arises from the presence of anisotropic intermolecular forces. To date NMR experiments, theory and Monte Carlo simulations indicate the importance of two main contributions to orientational ordering of small solutes in various liquid crystal...
