| We represent here some results for a model of migrating and nonmigrating ellipsoidal molecules dispersed in a cubic lattice, describing: the orientational ordering in nematics, the possibility of a biaxial ordered liquid state, the orientational ordering in solid hydrogen (orto-H2 or para-D2) or the orientational glassy structure (the "higher rank"glass state). Through this kind of molecular ensemble (in the case of the system of ellipsoidal and spherical molecules) it is also possible to study the orientational and positional orderings in binary mixtures and to obtain the so-called plastic state. |
