Abstract

Based on the Pippard-Buckingham-Fairbank relation, a theory of critical ultrasonics near the isotropic-nematic transition in a liquid crystal is developed. This allows us to demonstrate that the attenuation data at different frequencies do indeed collapse on a single scaling plot in the isotropic phase.
