Description	Journal: Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics Measurements are reported on the DC Kerr response and the pre-transitional behaviour of a negative nematic liquid crystal-p-ethoxy-benzylidine-p-butylaniline (EBBA)-at temperatures above the nematic-isotropic transition temperature. The observed second-order pre-transitional temperature T* from the measurements is found to be within 1 degrees C below the first-order nematic-isotropic transition temperature. The observed dependence of the Kerr constant on $(T-T*)^{-1}$ is found to be in good agreement with the predictions of the Landau-de Gennes model. The pre-transitional temperatures have also been investigated in p-ethoxy benzylidine p-butyl aniline-p-methoxy benzylidene p-n-butyl aniline (EBBA-MBBA) liquid crystal mixtures.
