Statistical-Mechanical Calculations of the Surface Free-Energy and Anchoring Transitions
A statistical-mechanical theory which takes into account the correlation, between translational-translational, orientational-orientational and mixed correlations, based upon the method of conditional distribution functions, is applied to calculations of the surface free energy and anchoring transitions of a system composed of interacting ellipsoidal. molecules near an interacting wall.
