Abstract
Precise heat-capacity measurements have been made around the smectic-–smectic- phase transition in the R–S mixture of liquid crystal MHPOBC ([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid, 4′-(octyloxy)-, 4-[[(1-methylheptyl)oxy]carbonyl]phenyl ester) which exhibits ferro- and antiferroelectric phases. Ultra-low frequency ac calorimeter and high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimeter have been used. The measurements revealed the existence of quite...
