The light scattering is normally governed by director inhomogeneity around teh separate particles. When the particles form a network the scattering is controlled by the director domain structure. We consider the influence of particle shape and size, the type of director anchoring on the particle surface and light polarization. Our principal findings are that: (a) for a so-called 'dipole' director configuration around the particle, the light scattering is predicted to be approximately two orderes of value stronger than for a so-called 'Saturn ring' configuration; (b) incident light polarizred parallel to the scattering plane gives rise to a stronger scattered angular dependnece than light polarized perpendicular to it; (c) when the inclusions are cylindrical the light scattering is relatively stronger at lwo scattering angles than when the inclusions are spherical; (d) for a particle network, the nature of the network domain orientational distribution influences the intenstiy of light scattering, but has little effect on its angular dependence.","PeriodicalId":205850,"journal":{"name":"International School on Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126870971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To justify our reasons we will anlayze the character of molecular light scattering in silicate glass, that was the object of experimental study. Our approach to the problem of fluctuations in glasses and liquids near the glassification point is based on the following general motivations. Highly-viscous and glass-like states of glass-forming liquids are in the metastable region, which correspond to the crystal state of a system in the equilibrium. The behavior of a system is determined by relations between two characteristic times: τw(T) and τe, where the former is the waiting time for the critical nucleus and τe is the time for cooling the system from the melting temperature to the spinodal temperature Ts at the same pressure. If τe <(<<) τw(Ts) the system smoothly passes to the glass-like state. Here two factors are very important. In metastable region of a system the nuclei of the new phase (crystal) appear. The fraction volume φ(T), occupied by them, depends on the cooling rate. The value of φ is the less the more quick cooling the system is. However, below the spinodal in accordance with thermodynamics the homogeneous states of a system are impossible. The existence of the lasts contradicts the stabilty conditons. From here we conclude that typical glass-like states in a system should be microinhomogeneous. Similar conclusion is confirmed by the results of experimental study of the structure. Now we should note that the strongly anisotropic interaction between nonspyherical molecules of glass-forming liquids leads to considerable coupling between the translational and orientational degrees of freedom in a system. In other words the changes of density is accompanied by the corresponding modulation of molecular orientations. Due to strong increasing the shear viscosity at approaching the glassification point some configurations of the centers of mass and the orientations of molecules froze. More exactyly, only weak thermal deviations of coordinates of molecules from their local equilibrium values are possible. The radical change of the global molecular configuration requires exponentially large time. Thus, the combination of frozen and thermal fluctuations is the distinctive feature of glass-like state of a system. It is necessary to note that different ways of cooling of a system lead to nonequivalent frozen fluctuations.","PeriodicalId":205850,"journal":{"name":"International School on Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals","volume":"248 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115755389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These advantages result not only from the milder polymerization conditions but also from a lower probability of the formation of ion pairs and dye aggregates. A substantial suppression of these processes in polyurethane is explained by its greater polarity and solvation ability compared to polyurathane acrylate.","PeriodicalId":205850,"journal":{"name":"International School on Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116801227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ritz's variational method is used, i.e. the profile of director reorientation is considered to be similar to astigmatic Gaussian profile. Parameters of the trial function are calculated numerically. The threshold intensity of light beam is appeared to increase with increasing of asymmetry of the beam under the constant value of laser beam area and cell thickness. Utilizing the Huygens-Fresnel principle and geometrical optics approximation we calculate the amplitude distribution in space for different distances from the cell.
