High-resolution calorimetric study of the nematic to smectic- A transition in aligned liquid crystal–aerosil gels
Garland, Carl W.; Iannacchione, G. S. (American Physical Society, 2009-01)High-resolution ac calorimetry has been used to study the nematic to smectic-A (N-SmA) phase transition in the liquid crystal octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) confined in aligned colloidal aerosil gels. A stable and robust nematic ...
