Optical Reflectivity and Dynamic Light Scattering Study in Thin Smectic-A Liquid Crystal Films

Abstract Details

2016, BS, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Physics.
We describe the construction of a light scattering apparatus that is first used to conduct optical reflectivity measurements in thin smectic-A liquid crystal films to measure the thickness of films. Furthermore, we continue by conducting dynamic light scattering studies of films to obtain surface tension measurements for 8CB.
