MATÉRIA CONDENSADA
Abstract in Portuguese
Realizamos medidas do expoente crítico do parâmetro de ordem, ´BETA´, ao longo da transição de fase nemática uniaxial-biaxial em um cristal líquido liotrópico composto por laurato de potássio/1-decanol/água, em fuåção da concentração relativa dos componentes da mistura. Para a determinação do expoente crítico ´BETA´ medimos a birrefringência do cristal líquido em função da temperatura, durante a transição de fases. As medidas foram realizadas através da técnica de microscopia óptica de luz polarizada com compensador de Berek. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o expoente crítico do parâmetro de ordem, ´BETA´, não segue nem o Modelo XY nem o Modelo de Campo Médio, podendo ter valores entre 1/3 e 1, tendo uma forte dependência com a composição da amostra

Abstract in English
Measurements were made of the critical exponent of the order parameter 'BETA' along the phase transition nematic uniaxial-biaxial in a lyotropic liquid crystal composed by potassium laurate/1-decanol/water, as a function of the relative concentration of the mixture components. For the determination of the critical exponent 'BETA' we measured the birefringence of the liquid crystal as a function of the temperature, along the phase transition. The measurements were done using optical microscopy with a Berek compensator. The results show that the critical exponent of the order parameter 'BETA' follows neither the XY Model nor the Mean Field Model, presenting values between 1/3 and 1, strongly dependent on the sample composition.
