Yn. Murthy et al., POLARIZABILITIES AND RELATED PROPERTIES OF AZO BENZENE LIQUID-CRYSTALCOMPOUNDS, Crystal research and technology, 32(2), 1997, pp. 279-286
A novel method, molecular vibration approach is presented and used to
evaluate polarizabilities, polarizability anisotropies and diamagnetic
susceptabilities of Azo Benzene liquid crystal compound. In this appr
oach vibrational frequencies are used to calculate the force constants
, mean amplitude of vibrations and bond polarizabilities. In addition,
the variation of order parameter with temperature is also studied. Th
e results are compared and discussed with the literature values.
