Multiscale approach to nematic liquid crystals via statistical field theory
We propose an approach to a multiscale problem in the theory of thermotropic uniaxial nematics based on the method of statistical field theory. This approach enables us to relate the coefficients A, B, C, L1, and L2 of the Landau-de Gennes free energy for the isotropic-nematic phase transition to th...
