Abstract

Scattering of narrow band coherent light from a laser source is a powerful tool to elucidate the behavior of thermotropic liquid crystals. That is because one may use light scattering to investigate both the static and dynamic behavior of director modes in liquid crystal phases. The director modes are often modified by the establishment of other types of order in liquid crystals, and their study enables one to investigate the establishment of both positional and bond orientational order in smectic phases.KeywordsLiquid CrystalCorrelation LengthDirector ModeNematic PhaseIsotropic PhaseThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
