| Abstract |
We report quantitative observations of the pretransitional fluctuations in short-range nematic order and the divergence of the magnetic birefringence in the isotropic phase of a lyotropic liquid crystal. The results are analyzed to obtain the anisotropy of the diamagnetic susceptibility and the coefficients in a Landau expansion of the free energy. |
