	abstract = {The effects of the nature and concentration of the solutes 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene (TCB), benzene, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, m-dichlorobenzene, and p-dichlorobenzene on orientational order in the nematic liquid crystal N-(4-ethoxybenzylidene)-2,6-dideutero-4-n-butylaniline are investigated using NMR spectroscopy. Seven separate samples containing differing concentrations of all solutes are investigated at constant temperature, at constant reduced temperature, at constant TCB orientational order, and at constant liquid crystal orientational order. Various schemes for comparison of orientational order among the samples are examined. For the experiments performed here, the most consistent method to compare solute orientational order in the different samples is to multiply results from the experiments performed at constant temperature by the factor needed to equate the TCB order parameters.

	abstract = {The anisotropic intermolecular forces responsible for the orientational ordering in liquid crystals are probed by comparing Monte Carlo (MC) simulations with experimental nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) results for solutes in nematic liquid crystals. In a special liquid crystal mixture where all long-range interactions are assumed to be minimized, the models for short-range interactions which best fit NMR experimental solute order parameters also best fit solute order parameters from MC simulations of hard ellipsoids. This is taken as an indication that in this special mixture the intermolecular potential is dominated by short-range forces. However, for liquid crystals where long-range interactions are important, simulations of hard ellipsoids with point quadrupoles cannot reproduce even the gross effects observed with experimental NMR data.},
