Critical Exponents for the Landau-de-Gennes Model of the Nematic-Isotropic Phase-Transition
In this paper we report the application of Wilson’s recursion relations to the numerical calculation of critical indices for the d = 3 Landau-de Gennes model near the isolated critical point on the nematic-isotropic phase transition line. We find that the calculated critical exponents namely gamma = 1.277 and nu = 0.638 in fair agreement with the best epsilon expansion results.
