A generalized molecular theory for nematic liquid crystals formed by non-cylindrically symmetric molecules
Ozhan Kayacan
Many molecular theories of nematic liquid crystals consider the constituent molecules as cylindrically symmetric. In many cases, this approximation may be useful. However the molec…

Generalization of the Maier-Saupe theory of the nematics within Tsa llis Thermostatistics
O. Kayacan, F. Büyükkilic, D. Demirhan
In this study, one of the mean-field theories in nematics, the Maier-Saupe theory (MST), is generalized within Tsallis Thermostatistics (TT). The variation of the order parameter v…

An Investigation of MBBA nematic within Generalized Maier-Saupe Theory
O. Kayacan
Generalized Maier-Saupe theory (GMST) within Tsallis thermostatistics (TT) has been used to investigate the second rank order parameter in a nematic liquid crystal, N-p-methoxybenz…
