摘要：

A wall-induced birefringence in a nematic liquid crystal above the nematic-isotropic phase transition point has been observed for the first time. It is expected that this phenomenon will provide a useful tool to study the nature of aligning forces at liquid-crystal-solid interfaces. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
