摘要
The transient optical Kerr effect and the intensity-dependent ellipse rotation were used to study the pretransitional behavior of the field-induced molecular alignment in the isotropic phase of binary mixture of p-methoxy-benzylidene-p-n-butylaniline (MBBA) and 0-30% n-hexane. The results can be described very well by the Landau-de Gennes model in all cases. A number of relevant characteristic parameters of the medium are derived as functions of the n-hexane concentration.
