Abstract
The existence of an isotropic-anisotropic phase transition in a system of long rigid rods has been noted by a number of workers. Apart from its intrinsic interest, this result has been considered to have application to at least the nematic-isotropic phase transition observed for nematic mesophases, and perhaps more generally to other mesophases as well.
