[...] les molécules s'orientent globalement sous l'effet du champ magnétique, introduisant ainsi une direction privilégiée dans la substance et donc une anisotropie optique. 3, record 1, French, - anisotropie%20optique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Certaines substances présentent [...] un état physique intermédiaire entre l'état solide cristallin et l'état liquide. Sous l'effet d'un champ électrique, ces substances subissent une orientation partielle des molécules, état qui leur confère une anisotropie optique. Cela signifie qu'elles sont transparentes en l'absence du champ électrique et diffusantes, donc opaques, en sa présence. 4, record 1, French, - anisotropie%20optique
