The effects of the nonextensivity on the dimerization process and nematic ordering

TL;DR

This paper explores how nonextensive thermostatistics, specifically Tsallis thermostatistics, affects the dimerization process and nematic ordering, improving theoretical predictions of the nematic order parameter.

Contribution

It introduces a novel application of Tsallis thermostatistics to enhance the theoretical model of nematic ordering influenced by dimerization.

Findings

Nonextensive effects modify the nematic order parameter predictions.

Tsallis thermostatistics provides better agreement with experimental data.

The model highlights the importance of nonextensivity in liquid crystal behavior.

Abstract

The influence of the dimerization process on the nematic ordering is investigated by using a nonextensive thermostatistics, namely Tsallis thermostatistics(TT). A theoretical model taking into account the dimerization influence on the nematic scalar order parameter has been recently presented[1]. Our study considers this model and the theoretical predictions for the nematic order parameter are improved by using TT.
