Raman scattering from a nematic liquid crystal: Orientational statistics. Physical Review Letters 31(26): 1552-1556.0031-9007http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:10361962Raman-scattering techniques have been used to obtain a new quantitative measure of orientational statistics of individual molecules in a nematic liquid crystal. A marked discrepancy is observed between these measurements and the predictions of existing theories of nematic ordering.en-USJournal Article2013-03-0410.1103/PhysRevLett.31.1552
