EN

Dielectric relaxation study was carried out for the nematic and isotropic phases of 4-(trans-4'-n- heptylcyclohexyl)isothiocyanatobenzene in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 1 GHz. In the nematic phase two relaxation processes were recorded for the electric permittivity component measured parallel to the molecular orientation (director n) and three relaxation processes - for the perpendicular permittivity component. The strength of the nematic potential and the nematic order parameter were estimated.
