abstract = {The isotropic-nematic spinodals of solutions of rigid
spherocylindrical colloids with various shape anisotropies
L/D in a wide range from 10 to 60 are investigated by means
of Brownian dynamics simulations. To make these simulations
feasible, we developed a new event-driven algorithm that
takes the excluded volume interactions between particles
into account as instantaneous collisions, but neglects the
hydrodynamic interactions. This algorithm is applied to
dense systems of highly elongated rods and proves to be
efficient. The calculated isotropic-nematic spinodals lie
between the previously established binodals in the phase
diagram and extrapolate for infinitely long rods to
Onsager's [Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 51, 627 (1949)] theoretical
predictions. Moreover, we investigate the shear induced
shifts of the spinodals, qualitatively confirming the
theoretical prediction of the critical shear rate at which
the two spinodals merge and the isotropic-nematic phase
transition ceases to exist.},
