Tricritical Phenomena and Cascades of Temperature Phase Transitions in a Ferromagnetic Liquid Crystal Suspension

We consider temperature-driven phase transitions occurring in a liquid crystal suspension of ferromagnetic particles within the Landau–de Gennes theory. The temperature dependences of the order parameters in the uniaxial model with a vector order parameter for the magnetic subsystem are obtained. Th...
