2.1 Nematic mesophase
A nematic mesophase is distinguished from a liquid by its anisotropy, which is reflected in all macroscopic tensor properties (magnetic susceptibility, dielectric tensor, etc.). Thus, in a system of axes where the directorn has coordinates (0,0,1), the magnetic susceptibility tensor χ
ij
is written for a usual nematic state (uniaxial):
