Phase-Behavior of Nematic-Nonnematic Binary-Systems
The effect of addition of several nonnematic solute to nematic liquid crystal 5CB was studied. We found the increase of nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature in ANB/5CB mixture, contrary to the usually observed depression. The results were analyzed by a mean field treatment of mixture.
