摘要：

Specific-heat measurements near the nematic-smectic-A transitions of the octyloxy, nonyloxy, and decyloxy members of the 4-n-pentyl-phenylthiol-4- alkoxybenzoate (n»S5) homologous series reveal the presence of critical-tricritical crossover behavior upon increasing n», with n»t9». The results are consistent with Alben's extension of de Gennes's superfluid analogy to include superfluid-He3-He4-like tricritical behavior. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
