Sažetak
Using the Landau-de Gennes theory of short-range orientational order in the isotropic phase, closed-form expressions for the temperature dependence of the scattered intensity of chiral nematic liquid crystals are derived. Detailed calculations are included and the results are expressed in a form that can be easily tested experimentally.
