In this study using a mean field model we obtain the phase line equations for the NA. NC and AC transitions near the NAC point in a mixture of liquid crystals. We then fit these phase line equations to the experimental data. This fitting shows that our theoretical phase diagram predicts the correct experimental behaviour of the phase diagram in a mixture of liquid crystals.

A mean field model near the NAC point in liquid crystals Enginer, Y.; Salihoǧlu, S.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2002-10-01) In this study we obtain the phase line equations for the nematic-smectic A (NA), smectic A-smectic C (AC) and nematic-smectic C (NC) transitions using a mean field model. We fit these phase line equations to the experimental phase diagram near the Nenatic-smectic A-smectic C (NAC) point. Our calculated phase diagram agrees well with the experimental.
A phase diagram for ammonium halides Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Tublek, A (Informa UK Limited, 1995-01-01) In this study we have developed a mean field model to obtain the phase diagrams for NH4Cl and NH4Br. The phase diagrams obtained from our macroscopic theory are in good agreement with those obtained experimentally.
T-X phase diagram of (NH4)(2)SO4/H2O Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Sen, S.; Salihoglu, S. (2007-04-01) Using the mean field theory, we obtain the phase line equations for the liquid-solid I, liquid-solid II and solid I-solid II transitions in (NH4)(2)SO4/H2O. We fit our phase line equations to the experimental T-X phase diagram of this system. Thus, we are able to obtain the temperature and concentration dependencies of the order parameters and the free energies in this system.
A phase diagram near the NAC* point in liquid crystals Salihoglu, S; Tublek, A; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Informa UK Limited, 2000-01-01) Wt study here a mean field model to obtain the phase diagram (concentration versus temperature) near the NAC* point in a binary mixture of liquid crystal. Wr have Fitted our phase line equations to the experimental data for the mixture of SCE9 + SCE10 liquid crystals. We deduce fi om our analysis that there should exist a tricritical point close to the NAC* point on the AC* phase line.
Calculation of a phase diagram for the ice II-V-VItransitions Tari, O; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Salihoglu, S (2000-12-01) In this study we calculate the P - T phase diagram of ice II - V - VI using a mean field model. Our calculated phase line equations are fitted to the experimental data from the literature. There is a very good agreement between our calculated and experimentally observed P - T phase diagram of ice II - V - VI.
