ABSTRACT |
|
|
|
We report the results of our studies
on the physical and optical properties of binary mixtures of
cholesteryl nonanoate and 4-n′-pentyl-4′-thiocyanatobiphenyls.
Experimentally measured optical anisotropy of refractive indices and
helical pitch of liquid crystalline phases helps to study the
molecular band gap structure of different liquid crystalline phases,
respectively, at different temperatures and at different
concentrations. |
