We study equilibrium liquid crystal configurations in three-dimensional geometries, within the continuum Landau-de Gennes theory. We obtain explicit bounds for the equilibrium scalar order parameters in terms of the temperature and material-dependent constants. We explicitly quantify the temperature regimes where the Landau-de Gennes predictions match and the temperature regimes where the Landau-de Gennes predictions do not match the probabilistic second-moment definition of the Q-tensor order parameter. The regime of agreement may be interpreted as the regime of validity of the Landau-de Gennes theory since the Landau-de Gennes theory predicts large values of the equilibrium scalar order parameters – larger than unity, in the low-temperature regime. We discuss a modified Landau-de Gennes energy functional which yields physically realistic values of the equilibrium scalar order parameters in all temperature regimes.

We have investigated the effect of single-ion anisotropy of the "easy plane" type on the phase states of a ferrimagnet with S = 1 and σ=1/2 sublattices and non-Heisenberg (bilinear and biquadratic in spins) exchange interaction for the sublattice with S = 1. It is shown that taking into account both the non-Heisenberg exchange interaction and the single-ion anisotropy of the sublattice with S = 1 leads to the realization of a phase with vector order parameters (ferrimagnetic phase) and a phase characterized by both vector and tensor order parameters (quadrupole-ferrimagnetic). It is shown that taking into account single-ion anisotropy changes the type of phase transition in comparison with an isotropic non-Heisenberg ferrimagnet. A phase diagram is constructed, and the condition for the compensation of the sublattice spins is determined.
