	abstract = {Mean solute-solute forces and solute-induced solvent structure are investigated for pairs of chemically patterned (patched) solutes in binary mixtures near demixing coexistence. The isotropic and anisotropic hypernetted-chain integral equation theories as well as a superposition approximation are solved and compared. The patched solutes consist of one end that favors the majority species in the mixture while the other end favors the minority species. A wide range of patch sizes is considered. The isotropic and anisotropic theories are found to be in good agreement for most orientations, including the most attractive and most repulsive configurations. However, some differences arise for asymmetrical orientations where unlike ends of the solute particles face each other. In contrast, superposition often gives a rather poor approximation to the mean force, even though the results obtained for the solvent densities agree qualitatively with the anisotropic theory. The mean force is sensitive to small differences in the densities particularly near demixing. For patched solutes the influence of demixinglike behavior is evident both in the orientational dependence and in the range of the mean force acting between solutes.

	abstract = {We describe an integral equation method for obtaining the distribution of a nematic fluid near a wall and interacting with a uniform orienting field. Complete density-orientational profiles are calculated for a model nematic with different wall-particle interactions and different orientations of the wall with respect to the field. For orienting walls we identify particular long-range correlations that are responsible for reorientation of the bulk nematic at zero external field. These correlations become stronger as the wall-particle interaction is increased in range; they become longer ranged as the orienting field is weakened. Special attention is focused on systems where the wall-particle interaction favors orientations perpendicular to the surface. The local director orientation can vary discontinuously with the distance from the surface when the orienting influences of the field and the wall are antagonistic. At high densities smectic-like structures appear. Adsorption phenomena are also discussed. For inert hard walls, the ordered fluid avoids the surface, and a surface layer where the particles tend to orient perpendicular to the bulk director appears. Experimentally, this might be seen as wetting of the wall by a less-ordered fluid. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.},

	abstract = {The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of three substituted benzenes as solutes in the liquid crystal 8CB were investigated. The orientational order of all solutes was obtained in the nematic and smectic-A phases. A change in temperature dependence of orientational ordering was observed at the nematic to smectic-A phase transition. We analyzed these results via Kobayashi-McMillan theory applied to solutes, i.e. by incorporating smectic-A layering and nematic smectic-A coupling into a mean-field orientational Hamiltonian. By fitting to experiment, we fully determined Hamiltonian prefactors. The nematic smectic coupling, determined for the first time by NMR, appears solute independent. Solute smectic-A order parameters were self-consistently determined. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.},

Attention is focused on the influence of surface-induced transitions on the net force acting between the plates. In addition to the stable and metastable bulk states that play a crucial role for homogeneous surfaces, for certain patterns and surface separations a bridge phase analogous to that recently reported for one-component systems is observed. It is found that bridge phase formation leads to strongly attractive plate-plate forces that are equal in magnitude to those observed for homogeneous surfaces. The significance of our results for the interaction and behavior of nonuniform macroparticles in solution is discussed. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.},

The changes in reorientational dynamics between 239 and 244 K also verify the existence of a phase transition in this range, as found by Czarnecki. Furthermore, the results give strong evidence that superimposed on the rotation there is a wobbling motion of the rotational axis which freezes in at the first transition temperature},

It is shown that at temperatures below the critical temperature T-c the vapor consists almost exclusively of strongly bound ion pairs at or near contact. Significant ion-pair dissociation begins at temperatures very near T-c. This raises the possibility that compositional fluctuations between strongly bound and free lions influence the critical behavior. We note qualitative similarities between the present results and the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in the two-dimensional Coulomb gas. [S1063-651X(99)03107-4].},
