Calculation of Layer Thickness in Smectic-A Phase of Binary-Mixtures of Terminal Polar Plus Terminal Non Polar Mesogens
The variations of laver thickness with concentration in the smectic A phase of binary mixtures of a terminal polar (A) and a terminal non-polar (B) mesogens have been calculated and compared with their experimental values for eight different mixtures. The calculation is based on assumption regarding formation of AA and AB type dimers in the mixture. The agreements between calculated and experimental Iayer thickness for all the mixtures are very good.
