Abstract
Abstract Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics techniques are used for the computer simulation of the stability of the nematic phase of hard ellipsoids of revolution with axial ratio 3, for system sizes in the range N = 108–576. It is concluded that the phase is not, as had been suggested previously, rendered unstable by increasing the number of particles in this range. The difficulties in making accurate estimates of the positions of both the nematic-isotropic and nematic-solid transitions are emphasized.
