Abstract

Three cyano-benzoate liquid crystals' refractive indices have been measured throughout the nematic and isotropic phase in order to determine their order parameters by using Vuks methods and characterization of anisotropic behaviors. The temperature dependence of refractive indices, birefringence and order parameters in the anisotropic phase, has been investigated for these nematic liquid crystals. Furthermore, the alkyl substituent's effects on the order parameters of cyano-benzoate liquid crystals were investigated.
