Elements of Modern X-ray Physics
A short review is given of recent X‐ray diffraction studies of the phases and phase transitions of thermotropic liquid crystals. The areas covered are twist‐grain‐boundary phases, antiferroelectric phases studied with resonant X‐ray diffraction and smectic phases within gel structures. In all areas, X‐ray diffraction has played a key role. Nonetheless, open questions remain: the nature of the smectic C variant of the twist‐grain‐boundary phase, the origin of antiferroelectric phases, and whether novel Bragg glass states exist for smectic A gel samples.
