2.1.1 Description

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): χ
