Long and Short Range Order in the Crystalline and Smectic B Phases of Terephthal-Bis-Butylaniline (TBBA)

Abstract
We proposed recently a model for the structure of the smectic B modification of two liquid crystals (EBAC and TBBA). These two compounds only differ by the fact that the molecules are perpendicular to the smectic planes in EBAC and tilted in TBBA.
