TL;DR
This paper uses a generalized Maier-Saupe theory within Tsallis thermostatistics to analyze the nematic liquid crystal MBBA, focusing on the order parameter and phase transition effects influenced by nonextensivity.
Contribution
It introduces a novel application of GMST with Tsallis thermostatistics to study MBBA's nematic phase and phase transition behavior.
Findings
Nonextensivity affects the free energy at the phase transition.
Second rank order parameter is analyzed within the generalized framework.
The theory provides insights into the nematic-isotropic phase transition.
Abstract
Generalized Maier-Saupe theory (GMST) within Tsallis thermostatistics (TT) has been used to investigate the second rank order parameter in a nematic liquid crystal, N-p-methoxybenzylidene p-n-butylaniline (MBBA). Also, the free energy has been investigated at the nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature and the effect of the nonextensivity has been demonstrated.
