In this study, the dependence of fourth-rank order parameter on second-rank order parameter for para-azoxyanisole is investigated by using Tsallis statistics. Also, orientational distribution function is studied within Tsallis thermostatistics using the maximum entropy method, and the...

The nonlinear self-consistent Smoluchowski equation for the distribution of orientations in a colloidal suspension of elongated molecules is solved for situations with uniaxial symmetry in the framework of the Maier–Saupe model. The axis of symmetry corresponds to the direction of an applied...
