Abstract
It is experimentally established that a contactless exposure of liquids rep resenting the homologous series of alkanes to a high-strength electric fiel d leads to the appearance of an optical anisotropy. The effect, related to a field-induced partial ordering (orientation) of extended molecules, is mo re clearly manifested in the liquids possessing higher molecular masses (lo nger molecules).
