Va. Andreev et Iv. Oleinikova, DETERMINATION OF COMPONENTS OF THE ORDER-PARAMETER TENSOR OF CHOLESTERYL MYRISTATE BY H-1-NMR DATA, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(7), 1995, pp. 1223-1226
The order parameter and orientation of the ''long axis'' of a choleste
ryl myristate molecule have been determined by the second, fourth, and
sixth moments of the H-1 NMR line of a ''polycrystalline'' sample in
the smectic phase. The effects of molecular diffusion in the cholester
ic phase are discussed.
