A general increase of solute orientational order with pressure was observed. Differences in behavior of the orientational order of the hydrogens compared to the other solutes are discussed.

	abstract = {We investigate the application of second-order density functional theory to the crystallization of dipolar hard and soft spheres. It is shown that the results are highly sensitive to the repulsive part of the pair potential, and to the symmetry of the fluid phase considered in the density functional theory. In general, the theoretical results for dipolar soft spheres (with r(-12) repulsion) are found to be physically more reasonable than those obtained for dipolar hard spheres. In particular, the fluid-solid density gap is greatly reduced and lies in the range expected on physical grounds and from simulations. However, theories constructed by expanding about the isotropic fluid phase overestimate the stability of the ferroelectric solid for both models, and fail to predict the stable ferroelectric fluids found in computer simulations. We have carried out calculations using ferroelectric dipolar fluids with both perfect and fluctuating orientational order as "starting points" in the density functional expansion. The results demonstrate the high sensitivity of the theory to the underlying fluid state, and strongly indicate the existence of stable ferroelectric fluids in accord with computer simulations.

	abstract = {Fluids of dipolar oblate ellipsoids of revolution are investigated in detail employing molecular dynamics simulations. For aspect ratios (height-to-breadth) between similar to 1.2 and similar to 3, it is shown that these systems may form two liquid crystal phases. These are a ferroelectric phase which is stable at higher temperatures and an antiferroelectric columnar phase which is stable at lower temperatures. A partial phase diagram is given and the important structural features of these phases are determined and discussed.},
