摘要：
A complete analysis of the order-disorder phase transition in nematic liquid crystals induced by an external field is presented. The case of nearly compensated nematics in weak anchoring situation is discussed. The investigation shows that the parameter controlling the order of the phase transition is a decreasing function of the anchoring strength. The important limiting cases of very weak and very strong anchoring are considered too.
