We examine spatial distribution of impurity rigid-sphere-like macroparticles in the mesomorphic liquid crystal host. Using continuum statistical mechanical theories, we analyze the thermodynamic conditions necessary for a modulated lamellar-structure to appear. There is a long-range effective intera...
