A review on octupolar tensors

G Gaeta, EG Virga - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In its most restrictive definition, an octupolar tensor is a fully symmetric traceless third-rank
tensor in three space dimensions. So great a body of works have been devoted to this …

Density functional theory for dense nematic liquid crystals with steric interactions

ES Nascimento, P Palffy-Muhoray, JM Taylor, EG Virga… - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
The celebrated work of Onsager on hard particle systems, based on the truncated second
order virial expansion, is valid at relatively low volume fractions for large aspect ratio …

Nematic-isotropic transition in a density-functional theory for hard spheroidal colloids

ES Nascimento - The European Physical Journal E, 2018 - Springer
We introduce a density-functional formalism based on the Parsons-Lee and the generalized
van der Waals theories in order to describe the thermodynamics of anisotropic particle …

The excluded volume of two-dimensional convex bodies: shape reconstruction and non-uniqueness

JM Taylor - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
In the Onsager model of one-component hard-particle systems, the entire phase behaviour
is dictated by a function of relative orientation, which represents the amount of space …
