Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid: field theoretical approach
We adopt a field theoretical approach to study the structure and thermodynamics of a homogeneous Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid interacting with anisotropic Yukawa potential. In the mean field approximation we retrieve the standard Maier-Saupe theory for liquid crystals. In this theory the density is...
