摘要
The phase behavior and structures of several liquid crystals of the nO.m (CnH2n+1-OPhCHNPhCmH2 m+1) series of compounds have been established by a variety of experiments. The hexagonal close-packed layers of the SB phases have a bilayer stacking sequence. The structure is increasingly modulated with decreasing temperature by periodic displacements of the molecules along their long axes. An additional displacement of this type occurs at the SB-SH transition. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
