Mean-field theory of orientational ordering in rigid rotor models with identical atoms: spin conversion and thermal equilibration

In coupled rotor models which describe identical rotating nuclei the nuclear spin states restrict the possible angular momenta of each molecule. There are two mean-field approaches to determining the orientational phase diagrams in such systems. In one the nuclear spin conversion times are assumed t...
