ON THE SCATTERING PHENOMENA FOR VARIOUS KINDS OF POLARIZED LIGHT IN A NONPOLAR BINARY LIQUID MIXTURE

摘要

The explicit result for the Mueller matrix for the sum of single and double scatterings is obtained in a nonpolar binary liquid mixture composed of a chiral solute and-an achiral solvent are obtained with the aid of the Ornstein-Zernike form for the correlation function of concentration fluctuations. The explicit result of the matrix shows that the law of reciprocity does not hold in the mixture. The scattering phenomena for six kinds of completely polarized light in a nonpolar binary liquid mixture are different from those in a pure chiral fluid because of the failure of the law and the large effect of concentration fluctuations. The scattering phenomena are in detail discussed in the region far from and near the critical point. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics. [References: 9]
