dc.description.abstractUsing a dynamic light scattering technique, we measure the damping rate of thermal fluctuations of the nematic director for the so-called disklike nematic N-D phase of both the ternary lyotropic K-laurate-1-decanol-H2O system and the quaternary one of similar composition except for the addition of salt (K2SO4). By varying the scattering angle in suitable geometries and polarizations, we are able to measure the orientational diffusivities associated with the pure deformations of splay and twist. A previous study made in the N-D phase of the same ternary system yielded a large deviation between the splay and twist diffusivities. The effect was then interpreted in terms of the anisotropy between their associated viscosities due to induced flows, or backflow. In the present work we observe a strong increase of the backflow as an effect of the added salt. In addition, we make auxiliary measurements of shear viscosity and magnetic instabilities, which help to characterize the effect of the salt in the orientational diffusivities as they are mixed quantities involving elastic constants and viscosity coefficients.en_US
