Abstract

The principal electrical conductivities σ and σ have been studied as functions of temperature in the nematic, smectic A and re-entrant nematic phases of a pure compound, 4-cyanophenyl-3′- methyl-r)4′-n-dodecylbenzoyloxy)benzoate, and a 35.8/64.2 weight mixture of 6 OCB and 8 OCB. In both cases, the ratio R(= σ) in the smectic phase exhibits a marked pretransitional increase on aproaching the re-entarant nematic phase.
