Figure 1
Phase diagrams of two thermotropic cubic mesogens. (a) ANBC-n (Kutsumizu, 2002: Cr, crystal; SmC/A, smectic C/A; Cub, cubic; I1 and I2 are a structured liquid and the normal isotropic liquid, respectively). (b) BABH-n (Mori et al., 2006). Their chemical structures are also given above the diagrams. |
