Abstract
We have measured the Rayleigh intensity and spectrum of cholesteryl oleyl carbonate (COC) above the isotropic-cholesteric transition. The anomalous temperature dependence of the linewidth which we have discovered is discussed in depth. Our results differ in many respects from the work reported in a recent Letter by Harada and Crooker.Keywords
