%0 Journal Article %T EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE REFRACTIVE INDICES AND OPTICAL BIREFRINGENCE DISPERSION OF NEMATIC LIQUID CRYSTAL 4-CYANOPHENYL-4กฏ-PENTYL BENZOATE %A Carmina Plosceanu %A Mariana Duca %J Analele Universitatii Bucuresti : Chimie %D 2010 %I %X The paper presents results of investigations on the temperature dependence of ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices and optical birefringence of the liquid crystal 4 cyanophenyl-4กฏ-pentyl benzoate. The spectral dependence of the optical birefringence was determined from interferometric measurements. The theoretical expression for liquid crystal optical transmission, presented here, is in agreement with experimental results. %K refractive index %K nematic liquid crystal %K optical birefringence %U http://gw-chimie.math.unibuc.ro/anunivch/2010-1/AUBCh1915560.pdf
