Abstract
â¢We propose a simple statistical model of ferronematic liquid crystals.â¢We use spherical approximation to derive equations of state.â¢We study magnetic field induced order-disorder transitions.
On the base of molecular-statistical approach we study the phase transition between the ordered (ferromagnetic) and disordered (paramagnetic) phases in liquid-crystalline suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles in an external magnetic field. The free energy and equations of magnetic and orientational equilibrium are obtained in the framework of spherical approximation.
