Liquid crystal physics

a phenomenological free-energy expansion in a tensor order parameter that describes the isotropic-nematic transition and pretransitional effects.

In liquid crystal physics, Landau-de Gennes theory refers to a phenomenological free-energy expansion in a tensor order parameter that describes the isotropic-nematic transition and pretransitional effects. This meaning comes from De Gennes (1971) in Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals.[1]
