Smectic-A and smectic-C phases and phase transitions in 8̅ S5 liquid-crystal-aerosil gels

Smectic-A and smectic-C phases and phase transitions in 8̅ S5 liquid-crystal-aerosil gels

High-resolution x-ray scattering studies of the nonpolar thermotropic liquid crystal 4-n-pentylphenylthiol-4′-n-octyloxybenzoate (8̅ S5) in aerosil gel nanonetworks reveal that the aerosil-induced disorder significantly alters both the nematic to smectic-A and smectic-A to smectic-C phase transition...
