Abstract

Abstract Density and refractive index data of cholesteryl oleyl carbonate in the smectic, cholesteric and isotropic phases are reported and the effective principal polarizabilities in the cholesteric and smectic phases are calculated and correlated. There is a systematic decrease in the effective optical anisotropy with increase in temperature owing to the decrease in orientational order.
