Abstract

Calorimetric, optical reflectivity, and electron-diffraction measurements have revealed several unique features near the smectic-A-hexatic-B transition of thin free-standing films of nmOBC (n-alkyl-4′-n-alkyoxy-biphenyl-4-carboxylate). Our recent Monte-Carlo simulations of a coupled XY model offer important insight into the nature of this transition.
