Transitions de phase dans une couche monomoléculaire sur un substrat liquide adhésif

Abstract
We use a lattice model to characterize the state of a monomolecular layer of long and rigid molecules. The solutions are obtained using a mean field theory with only short range repulsion forces. The basic results are: (1) a stable nematic phase for a region of density above a minimum length to breadth ratio; (2) the transition between the nematic phase and the isotropic phase is found to be second order. The results are in excellent agreement with those obtained with a mercury subphase.
