Abstract
A simple criterion is presented to discriminate between the smectic A - smectic C phase transition and the pseudo- (i.e. non existing) smectic A - tilted smectic A phase transition. This criterion has been used to classify and examine the existing theories for the smectic A - smectic C phase transitionKeywords
