Abstract

An overview is given on highly correlated thermal behavior associated with the layer-to-layer Sm-A-Hex-B transitions in 64COOBC films of different thickness. While the physics behind this unusual phenomenon is not fully understood, it suggests a hitherto unanticipated manifestation of surface-induced phase transitions and wetting behavior.
