摘要：
We present an approximate analytical calculation of the time-dependent structure factor for the phase-ordering dynamics of nematic liquid crystals. The structure factor is found to exhibit a k-5 tail, due to the Presence of 1/2 integrally charged string defects. Our theoretical results are in good agreement with simulation data, and are consistent with recent experiments.
