The longitudinal relaxation time and the complex dielectric polarizability of rod-like molecules with dipole moment parallel to the long axis in a biaxial nematic liquid crystal are calculated using as model the rotational Brownian motion in a mean field potential so reducing the problem to a...

The rotational correlation function of anisotropic colloidal particles can be measured by observing the fluctuations of the depolarized intensity scattered in the forward direction. In this work we present a theoretical treatment of forward depolarized light scattering. Our calculations show the...
