Abstract

It is found that an interphase state, characterized by a large Bragg reflection coefficient, is formed in smectogenic cholesteric liquid-crystal mixtures at the Ch-Sm transition boundary. The interrelation between the mixture composition and the optical and spectral characteristics is studied. A possible structure of the interphase state is proposed.
