摘要：

A numerical solution is obtained for the generalized Onsager problem for the isotropic-nematic interface of rigid rods, which accounts for the biaxial effect that was ignored in previous calculations. It is found that the biaxial effect on interfacial tension is indeed weak, as previously expected. The biaxiality becomes significant only near the isotropic side of the interface.
