FIG. 5.

Phase diagrams for , , , and . The solid curve refers to the binodal, the dotted line shows the first-order NIT, and the long-dashed line shows the ICT line. The short-dashed line is the spinodal.

FIG. 6.

Phase diagrams for , , , and . The value of is changed: (a), (b), (c).

FIG. 7.

Phase diagrams for , , , and . The value of is changed: (a), (b).

FIG. 8.

Phase diagram for , (a) and , (b) with and . When the nematic interaction between nematogens is weak, the unfavorable interaction parameter between a colloid and a nematogen becomes dominant in the free energy. The isotropic unstable region shifts to higher temperatures with decreasing .
