Abstract
Abstract The effect of liquid compressibility on the nematic-isotropic phase transition is investigated according to the method of Mattis and Schultz using a volume dependent Hamiltonian in a constant pressure partition function. The theory is able to account for the large difference in constant pressure and constant volume transition temperatures, and the volume change at the constant pressure transition for para-azoxyanisole.
