Abstract
Incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering measurements performed with high resolution (∼ 1 μcV) have provided the diffusion coefficients for translation of four members of the 4,4′-di-n-alkyloxyazoxybenzene series in their nematic phases. An odd-even effect in these coefficients was observed. The results were compared with those previously obtained by Noack via the NMR technique. There is fairly good agreement between his NMR and our QNS results.
