Abstracts

EN

The method of determination of the main components of electric permittivity tensor for the cholesteric liquid crystals was proposed. The method was used to interpret the results obtained for pure 4-[(S,S)-2,3~epoxyhexyloxy]-phenyl-4-(decyloxy)-benzoate and the binary mixture of cyanobiphenyls.
