Landau Theory of the Reentrant Nematic-Smectic A Phase Transition
(EDP Sciences, 1979)
The reentrant, nematic to smectic A phase transition is shown to follow from the Landau theory if one assumes the existence of an optimum density for smectic ordering. The shape of the coexistence line in the P-T plane is ...
