Abstract:For the binary mixture of 4'-Nitrophenyl 4-n-octyloxybenzoate and 4-n-Octyloxyphenyl 4-pentyloxybenzoate with an induced smectic A phase the refractive indices (n, and rz,) and the density were measured in dependence on the temperature. The orientational order parameter and the density were calculated using a mean field fitting method. In the induced S, phase the refractive indices and the calculated orientational order parameters are showing only a weak dependence on concentration. The calculated and measured… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
