The transmission of symmetry in liquid crystals
Jie Xu, Pingwen Zhang
The existing experiments and simulations suggest that the molecular symmetry is always transmitted to homogeneous phases in liquid crystals. It has been proved for rod-like molecul…

From microscopic theory to macroscopic theory: symmetries and order parameters of rigid molecules
Jie Xu, Pingwen Zhang
We use density functional theory to describe the phase behaviors of rigid molecules. The construction of kernel function G(x, P, x, P) is discussed. Excluded-volume potential is ca…
