We report measurements of the frequency dispersion of ultrasonic attenuation for a nematic liquid crystal, the n-pentyl cyanobiphenyl in the vicinity of the nematic-isotropic transition. In the isotropic phase, the experimental results are well described by the theory recently proposed by Imura and Okano. The frequency ωmax at which the maximum of attenuation per wave length αλ occurs, as well as the peak value (α λ) max, diverge at the transition with the critical exponents predicted by the theory. We have extended the Imura-Okano theory to the nematic phase on the basis of a coupling between sinusoidal temperature variation induced by sound wave and the elastic Frank constants. This model accounts semi-quantitatively for the experimental ...
