| Relations between Nematic Potential and Order Parameters (P 2 ) and (P 4 >  | | | | Abstract
| The Maier-Saupe theory is employed in order to calculate order parameters (P 2), (P 4) from the nema-tic potential q. The relation between <r=q/(RT) and S = (P 2) corresponds well with a recently establis-hed formula by Kalmykov. The relation between the order parameters is in accordance with the analy-tic expression (P 4)=5/l (P 2) 2 proposed by Zanonni, but deviates significantly from the Faber model, according to which log (P 4)=(10/3) log (P 2). Experimental results for 5 CB obtained from Raman mea-surements, however, are in better agreement with the Faber model. | | | |
