Abstract
The decay of the electrically induced transient birefringence, for a dilute polydisperse suspension of ellipsoidally shaped particles of constant axial ratio, is analysed. It is shown that, for the decay process, the initial slopes of the natural logarithm of the normalised birefringence versus time curves for transients obtained under two discrete experimental conditions provide sufficient data to describe the spread in particle size in terms of two-parameter distribution functions. The procedure is described for three common skew distributions and two symmetric ones. A simple procedure for identifying the most appropriate distribution function is given.
