Temperature difference between bulk and surface transition in freely suspended smectic films
We report an ellipsometric study of freely suspended films of a chiral liquid-crystal compound possessing the phase sequence smectic-C-smectic-A-isotropic with a very broad (67 K) smectic-A phase range. We observe a smectic-C-smectic-A surface transition which is situated more than 60 K above the bu...
