Pretransitional optical activity of short-pitched chiral nematic liquid crystals

We have developed, using the de Gennes theory of short-range orientational order in the isotropic phase, a closed-form expression for the temperature dependence of the pretransitional optical activity of chiral nematics. Detailed calculations are included and the results are expressed in a form that...
