Abstract
On the basis of microscopic observations on free droplets we have located different transition lines between 2D fluid smectic phases in (x, T) binary diagrams. In particular a textural criterion has been defined to identify for the first time the SC-SÃ phase transition. Our studies lead to the classification of three 2D fluid smectics according to the following sequence : SC-SÃ-SAcre with decreasing temperatureKeywords
