Liquid Crystals
The tricritical and the re-entrant nematic behaviour are two of the most relevant features of the Smectic A (SmA)-to-Nematic (N) phase transition in binary mixtures of liquid crystals. Both of these concepts are studied from a theoretical and an experimental point of view for some two-component syst...

| Sumario: | The tricritical and the re-entrant nematic behaviour are two of the most relevant features of the Smectic A (SmA)-to-Nematic (N) phase transition in binary mixtures of liquid crystals. Both of these concepts are studied from a theoretical and an experimental point of view for some two-component systems whose members are calamitic liquid crystals belonging to the alkylcyanobiphenyl (nCB) or alkoxycyanobiphenyl (nOCB) series, n being the number of the carbon atoms in the alkyl or alkoxy chain, respectively. |
