Abstract
ABSTRACTA model combining with Flory-Huggins theory of isotropic mixing and Landau theory is developed to describe the effect of graphene nanoparticles on the isotropic to nematic phase transition. The temperature and concentration of graphene nanoparticles dependence on the orientational order parameter, transition temperature and thermodynamic quantities near the isotropic to nematic phase transition are discussed. The orientational order parameter, transition temperature and enthalpy near the isotropic to nematic phase transition increase with the increase of graphene nanoparticles.KEYWORDS: Nematic liquid crystalgraphenenanoparticlesphase transition Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍:
Phase Transitions is the only journal devoted exclusively to this important subject. It provides a focus for papers on most aspects of phase transitions in condensed matter. Although emphasis is placed primarily on experimental work, theoretical papers are welcome if they have some bearing on experimental results. The areas of interest include:
-structural phase transitions (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, multiferroic, order-disorder, Jahn-Teller, etc.) under a range of external parameters (temperature, pressure, strain, electric/magnetic fields, etc.)
-geophysical phase transitions
-metal-insulator phase transitions
-superconducting and superfluid transitions
-magnetic phase transitions
-critical phenomena and physical properties at phase transitions
-liquid crystals
-technological applications of phase transitions
-quantum phase transitions
Phase Transitions publishes both research papers and invited articles devoted to special topics. Major review papers are particularly welcome. A further emphasis of the journal is the publication of a selected number of small workshops, which are at the forefront of their field.
