Abstract

Current studies of thermotropic liquid crystals reveal a remarkable variety of smectic phases, distinguished by their molecular packing, symmetry of one and two-dimensional lattices and tilting. We review here the structure and phase behaviour of particular types of layering with emphasis on their relationship to asymmetry of the molecular structure and conformational mobility of different molecular moieties. The breaking of up-down symmetry in the orientation of the heads (tails) of molecules is considered as having either a steric or polar origin, or as induced by the polyphilic nature of molecules. The structure of tilted smectic phases and phases with alternating layer to layer tilt are discussed in detail. We consider also the possibility of transitions from the phases with one-dimensional periodicity (smectics) to columnar phases with two-dimensional positional order. The relevance of various types of molecular model that predict the regions of stability of different layered phases are discussed.

The most important are the long-wave layer displacement thermal fluctuations and the individual motions of molecules having a random diffusive nature. The layer displacement amplitude depends on the magnitude of the elastic constants of smectics: σ2~(KB) -1/2, where B and K are the elastic constants for compression of the layers and for splay deformation, respectively

We note that alkyl and fluoroalkyl groups are nonpolar and interact primarily via dispersion (Van der Waals) forces: Vfh-αfαH. Thus the incompatibility of these fragments are due to differences in their polarizabilities αF and αH. However, for dense fluids the effects of packing entropy may also be important
