Data from films with thicknesses ranging from 100 layers to 250 layers show that the values of Δmax - Δmin in this "six-layer region" are around 0.15°, with major contribution from the surface layers. While for the biaxial Sm C FI2 in the same films, the absolute values of Δmax - Δmin are around 4°.
