  • Light scattering intensity correlation function in disordered nematic systems
    Mertelj, Alenka ; Čopič, Martin
    In dynamic light scattering in nematic liquid crystal in silica earogel matric, the light intensity correlation function in the single scattering regime is an average over the orientations of the ... nematic director n with respect to the laboratory frame. We have calculated the expected correlation function and its dependence on the scattering angle and incident and scattered polarizations. Due to the substantional dependence of the orientational diffusivitivies on the relative orientation of n and the scattering vector, the correlation function is non-exponential. In the calculation, the effect of the refrective index anisotropy on the scattering vector.
