Abstract

Proton NMR was employed to study the nematic phases upon heating and upon cooling in PCH-3 (trans-4 (4-propylcyclohexy) benzonitrile). Our systematic measurements of the nematic order parameter and spin relaxations reveal the microscopic nature of the thermal hysteresis in this relatively low molecular weight nematic liquid crystalline material. 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
