16. All of the film samples studied in the present work had good transparency since the interference fringes did not decay as shown in Figure 3, even after 50 repetitions. Therefore, the sample densities are considered to have been fairly homogeneous, and the void and disorder mentioned here are considered to be very samll compared with the previously studied chlorobenzene films that were vapor deposited at very low temperatures. In the later cases, the films became opaque when the thickness was increased, indicating the appearance of density inhomogeneity the size of which may be comparable to the wavelength of light.
