Abstract
The study of the smectic-A to chiral smectic-C* phase transition of the liquid crystal S-(+)-[4-(2{sup '}-methyl butyl) phenyl 4{sup '}-n-octylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate] (CE8) containing dispersed hydrophilic aerosils reveals novel properties, important to understanding quenched disorder and confinement in ferroelectric liquid crystals. Smectic layer compression leads to a distribution of transition temperatures inducing smearing of the macroscopic data across the transition. A pronounced confinement-induced pretransitional tilted order is observed.
