Phase Sequence, Kinetics of Crystallization and Molecular Dynamics of the Chiral Liquid Crystalline Compound Forming a Hexatic Smectic Glass

The vitrification of the antiferroelectric hexatic smectic X<sub>A</sub>* phase and cold crystallization are reported for (<i>S</i>)-4′-(1-methylheptylcarbonyl)biphenyl-4-yl 4-[5-(2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutoxy) heptyl-1-oxy]benzoate. The kinetics of isothermal cold crystall...
