Abstract
We have measured the correlation range for fluctuations of the orientational order parameter in the isotropic phase of the liquid crystal -methoxy benzylidene, butyl aniline (MBBA). The correlation range was found to diverge as , in agreement with the predictions of de Gennes. This result is in contradiction with the behavior reported by Chu, Bak, and Lin.
